I would have thought they’d ask for Sandy Berger’s deal - now that one was SWEET! Or how about Bubba’s? That one was even better than Sandy’s!

Do the illegals plan on hiring attorneys, months of court, conviction and humiliation by the media on a daily basis? or, just another free ride.

How about Clintoon’s deal for all drug smugglers?

Or Clintons deal for tax cheats?

Or Clintons deal for puerto rican terrorists?

The president can pardon whom he pleases, and is required to pardon no one. Aside from being their usual loud, ridiculous selves, how can this latest ploy even get anyone’s attention?

But “not so fast,” says White House spokesman Tony Snow, who today tried to pour cold water on the plans of illegal immigrants hoping to follow in Mr. Libby’s footsteps: “Before these folks expect to get Scooter’s deal, they should ask themselves, ‘Can I cut a check for $250,000?’”

Hahahahahaha! Gotcha!

$3 Trillion. That’s a good start, but I still want a barrel of oil per day per Illegal from Mexico.

$3,000,000,000,000.00

Three trillion dollars could go a long way to helping our SS trust fund.

At the link this is clearly marked as satire.

In addition, clemency does not purge the underlying crime, rather, it only reduces the sentence and therefore, as convicted felons, they would lose just about any chance they might have to become legal.

Skimming this piece of work, I thought to myself: `Self, either this article really blows, or it’s just a liberal trying to be funny.’
Apparently it’s the latter.

Don’t forget Johnny Sutton’s deal for the drug smuggler who got shot in the buttocks.

"Al Qaeda Seeks Puerto Rican FALN Terrorists' Deal"

Yeah, that would look great in the headlines.

It is getting harder and harder to tell satire from real life.

By the way, when is Johnathan Swift going to come out with a second edition his famous cookbook "A Modest Proposal". I'm getting tired of his recipes and want something new.

Liberal humorists seem to have one tool in the box: sarcasm.
