No Holiday Pardon for 'Scooter' Libby

Obviously Libby’s pardon will come after the 2008 election.

convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative

The AP is still spinning like there was a leak.

[JLS]

Certainly if Libby is to get a pardon, it would be only smart to make it after the election.

[knarf]

That’s MY hope.

[SmithL]

Agreed

[Labyrinthos]

Obviously Libby’s pardon will come after the 2008 election.

Libby's pardon will come after the 2008 election only if the Court of Appeals has yet to rule or has ruled against Libby with respect to the appeal.

[bshomoic]

News flash: Libby withdrew his appeal.

[Always Right]

What is Bush afraid his approval ratings will drop? I wish Bush would stop worrying about what the media will say.

[spectre]

"President Bush granted pardons Tuesday to carjackers, drug dealers, a moonshiner and an election-laws violator but not to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, his vice president's former top aide who was convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative.

So can we assume Ramos and Compeon aren't going home for Christmas?

Maybe they should have been caught dealing the drugs, instead of going after the drug dealer..tsk, tsk.

I'm so disappointed in Bush.

Ramos and Compean still in prison. What happened to President Bush’s compassion?

[Labyrinthos]

Where have I been...

[Guenevere]

I have no more words for this.
I'm beyond disappointed.

[Trajan88]

Speaking of pardons... there’s a couple U.S. Border Patrol agents that need/must have pardons.

[kellynla]

“President Bush granted pardons Tuesday to carjackers, drug dealers, a moonshiner and an election-laws violator but not to...”

Compean, Ramos, the Haditha Marines and/or the Pendleton Eight Marines ...

Merry Christmas, President Jorge Boosh

[Just A Nobody]

I do not see Ramos and Compeon mentioned. Sad state of affairs, President Bush. Pardons for drug dealers and election law violators, but zilch for our BP.

[spectre]

Bush is as stubborn as a mule. In spite of the blitz of petitions and emails and congressional recommendations, he won't give an inch.

Compassion? It's misplaced.

[Guenevere]

It's misplaced --you got that right...
..and we know who is the beneficiary....(& it's not the US citizen).

I'm with you, I need to tune out for a long while...
..the news keeps getting worse.

[pissant]

This is really pissing me off too.

[Digger]

With Bush the illegals have more rights than Americans. Guess what? If you keep voting in this corrupt “Two-Party Cartel” run by corrupt evil elites then expect this from the next goon that you elect.
