This is more than a little bit pissy, but completely unsurprising: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/03/lib...ence/index.html
Actually, I take that back. I'm surprised that Bush only commuted his sentence rather than granting a full pardon. -------------------- |

QUOTE (Dogmeat @ Jul 3 2007, 01:11 PM)  Bush couldn't pardon him right now while he's still in office because of political backlash for the next year. I would be willing to bet he pardons him his last day in office. Meh, I don't see why not. Bush's approval ratings couldn't get any worse, so he might as well go ahead and pardon him.

It could be worse, it could be as low as congress's approval rating. I think he's commuting the sentence to keep him out of jail since they were going to throw him in right away. He'll pardon him his last day in office. I don't see what right the Dems have to be upset, look at Clinton's pardons, and I don't see Clinton serving 30 months in jail for lying under oath. -------------------- LANCE IS PRO-CENSORSHIP!
