Don’t you have to be charged, tried and convicted ... then go through the entire appeals process ... before you get a pardon? Bush ain’t even gonna be in office long enough to get the first two of those out of the way, but that won’t stop the media from repeating this crap.

No.
Ford pardoned Nixon, remember. Nixon hadn’t been charged with anything.

No, there are also proactive pardons, such as Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon -- who had not been charged with any crime.

Absolutely my thought, too.
There’s no way there’s even a trial before Bush gets out of office.
