I am not at all confident that Bush will issue any pardons to people in his administration.

My feeling, exactly. It seemed that he was very reluctant to pardon Libby and then the pardon was as minimal as possible.

The worst part is that Nadler will be able tell his voters, "See what I did. I stopped Bush from making pardons."

Libby was not pardoned - it was a commutation of sentence, which leaves the (unjust) felony conviction standing. Kept Libby out of jail but a felony conviction on one’s record is not exactly a free ride......
