Oh, Russ is still alive? I thought we’d have heard something about public financing of elections in the past months. I guess he was busy. /s

Un-f’n believable.. actually totally believable for this P.O.S.

since voters just issued such a strong condemnation of the Bush administration at the ballot box.

They did?

If I was Bush, I would pardon Sen. Russ Feingold for any current and all future charges of child molestation. Just for fun.

Wouldn’t it be nice if, for a change, rather than cowering at finger-wagging communists like Feingold, and grovelling obsequiously for their approval, a Republican president would exhibit some *SPINE* and deliberately *DOUBLE* the number of pardons to conservatives to *SPITE* the communist *JERKS*?

If I remember correctly, that’s what KLINTOON did!

Nothing like glossing over Clinton’s pardons.

For the record, the Clintons (co-presidents if you recall) pardoned two convicted members of the Weather Underground as he was leaving office. And they were not the only terrorists who got Presidential pardons.

How’s that Clinton legacy doing? It just got Hillary a cabinet position in the new administration.

Stuff it.

I can’t believe the arrogance of these people. I would bet long odds they never complained about Bill Clinton’s very, very obvious crooked pardons as well as politically motivated ones.

W should issue a statement:

“I pardon Senator Russ Feingold for being one of the biggest self-serving dirtbag politicians our nation has ever known.”

If President Bush cares about his place in history, he should think twice before issuing pardons that call his judgment, and the integrity of the rule of law, into question.

Did Feingold also issue a warning to Obama not to name the guy who pardoned Frank Rich & the FLN terrorists the next AG of the USA?

This democrat hypocricy and matching media double standard is getting really difficult to deal with.

“Clinton used the pardon power a number of times to lessen the impact of draconian mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenders”

...and Marc Rich, and FALN terrorists...
