No, GWB's pardon power does not extend to the court of George W. Greer! Presidents cannot pardon in county and state matters.

Very true. Jeb Bush does have the power to pardon himself. If his "crime" were so egregious, though, he could be impeached and removed by the Florida legislature. Gov. Bush must determine for himself if acting righteously is more important than worldly condemnation.
