At a town-hall style meeting, Bush also rebuffed a question about whether he would consider pardoning two Border Patrol agents in prison for the cover-up of the shooting of a drug trafficker in Texas. "No, I won't make you that promise," Bush told a woman who asked about a possible pardon. Many Republicans in Congress have said the men should not have been convicted and have criticized the federal U.S. attorney for even prosecuting the agents.

So Scooter Libby needs a pardon for 30 months but our Border Patrol agents can suffer over a decade because Bush won't pardon them.

Is GWB really going to address the Minneapolis convention next year? If so, that nominee better fly to Tahiti during that time of GWB “speak”.

Also keep in mind that Scooter would only have to have served in a minimum security Club Fed. The BP agents are doing hard time, locked away with murderers, drug smugglers, and the like, the very same people they were busting when they were on the job.
