Bill Clinton criticizing President Bush on pardoing Libby, has more irony than a black fly in a glass of milk.

>Bill Clinton Criticizes Bush on Libby Move

Christ, this late at night and I need another keyboard. - That is outright hilarious!

And I don't need to see the words "Clinton" and "Bush" together in the same sentence ever again...

"Yeah, but I think the facts were different,” Mr. Clinton said. "

Like not getting paid 6 figures in return for the pardon

Wow ... I’m really surprised that the impeached former president had the gall to make a statement like this. Then again, maybe not. Gotta get back to the White House so that he can diddle Hillary’s interns.

Rather than tread lightly on the Libby commutation, the Clintons have chosen to confront it; Clinton advisers said there was no real alternative, because the news media would bring up the Rich pardon anyway.

No, the bloggers and talk radio are bringing up Rich and the other scumbags pardoned by Slick, that is why the Xlintons had no choice but to address the issue head-on.

And Xlinton knows that most people never heard of Marc Rich anyway and the MSM will just gloss it over as old news. Man I wish the Bush administration had the stones to fight back against these mofos.

Mr. Clinton pardoned 140 people in the final hours of his presidency, including Marc Rich, the fugitive broker who had been charged with evading tens of millions of dollars in taxes, and who was the former husband of a top donor to Democrats and Mrs. Clinton’s first Senate campaign.

Interestingly enough, Scooter Libby was Marc Rich's long-time lawyer.

“It’s wrong to out that C.I.A. agent and wrong to try to cover it up,” Mr. Clinton added. “And no one was ever fired from the White House for doing it"

Armitage, you're fired!

“Yeah, but I think the facts were different,” Mr. Clinton said. “I think there are guidelines for what happens when somebody is convicted. You’ve got to understand, this is consistent with their philosophy; they believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle.”

How this man can say this stuff and not be afraid of lightening bolts is amazing. I guess he figures he's gotten away with it for this long.

Wow! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Bill Clintongave pardons to Mel Reynolds, the child molester, who now works for Jesse Jackson, to FALN terrorists, who were convicted bombers, and... Ta Da! Marc Rich! Interestingly enough, it was Scooter Libby who worked FOR Rich at the time, trying to get his pardon... And it was Fitz who was trying to keep Rich from being pardoned...

Anybody think it was a bit of a “come-uppance?”

Mark

Clinton’s right. There should have been some money passed to a relative, like $400K to a ... er well let’s forget that one. Perhaps Mark Rich could have his wife, errr let’s forget that one. Hmmmm, OK Clinton is no one to castigate someone else, but he sure knew how to make money from those pardons & heck, Mark's wife was on the funeral pyre as well.

"It’s wrong to out that C.I.A. agent and wrong to try to cover it up,”

Libby didn't "out a CIA agent" you dumbass!

Now that simple fact is out of the way, how does this commutation compare to your PARDONS??
