Hours before they were to leave office after eight troubled years, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney had one final and painful piece of business to conclude. For over a month Cheney had been pleading, cajoling, even pestering Bush to pardon the Vice President's former chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby

Like George DUH-pee-yew Bush would ever do the right thing and pardon a patriot.../sarc

eight troubled years

Time magazine sucks. Obambi has had 6 troubled months already.

[Gay State Conservative]

Time Magazine....yah...I remember that.I think we got it delivered to our house when I was a kid.

Forty five years ago.

“after eight troubled years”

Eight troubled years, where does this writer get off. Most of the trouble was the left were having hissy fits.

[truthandlife]

Timing is everything. When Obama and the Dems are stepping all over themselves and destroying our economy, Time wants to try to bring the Bush Admin up for some subliminal blame for where we are.

Dinosaur MSM continues to die....

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Eh, at least Cheney wasn’t offering to pay and Bush wasn’t pardoning for his (or his family’s) political future ala the Hassidic Jews pardon, the Mark Rich pardon, etc. etc. by Clinton.

[Wpin]

You have got to be kidding...

[truthkeeper]

Move on, Time. It won’t work anymore.

[roses of sharon]

BDS is political porn...addicting.

On page three:

"Bush was persuaded that the day of the neoconservatives had to be over, because the direction of his presidency had become politically unsustainable"

Not just his presidency, the direction of the GOP had become politically unsustainable.

[Huskrrrr]

Obama must really be in trouble. Next thing you know the slimes will bring back the last troubled year of Nixon.

[Inwoodian]

What a friggin’ hitpiece! Plame was NOT a Secret Agent. Joe WAS recommended to the CIA bosses by Valerie. Saddam HAD sought yellowcake in Africa. The foreign intelligence services STILL stand behind these positions.

[ottbmare]

I refuse to read that entire piece of trash—one page was enough—so I have to ask: does the name RICHARD ARMITAGE appear anywhere in it??

[ArtDodger]

A little manipulation of the media by the Powers-That-Be that be are saying, “Look at this pretty sparkly thing and forget about the anvil that is Socialism that is about to fall out of the sky and hit you and your family on the heads.”

[concerned about politics]

Oboma has only been in office 6 months, and has just about finished the job his Muslim brothers failed to do on 9/11.

Obomas poll numbers are dropping so fast, I'll bet people all over the country are wishing they could turn back time and have the Bush years back.

Is there buyers remorse out there? You bet there is! The college kids are pi$$ed because they were "deceived". This isn't what they thought they were voting for. They learned a good lesson this time!

[MestaMachine]

Do these intellectually deficient frauds mainline directly into their brains? This article is fairly dripping with innuendo, lies, and damn lies.
I tried to read this thing before I logged on to FR and could not believe the irresponsible, pathetic, self-serving rewriting of history before my eyes.
Holder is “struggling?” Is this to give Holder cover to prosecute Bush aides? Are they using Bush’s “crime and punishment” stance on Libby as moral equivalent for Holder to press forward with a special prosecutor?
I hate these people.

[shield]

You are wrong........just another HIT piece....to take peoples eyes off the present nightmare.

[Uncle Hal]

I am disappointed Bush did not pardon Libby. I think he got railroaded by a zealous prosecutor.

[what's up]

Oops...Oshama's health ideas being smashed to pieces.

Repubs are ascendant. Time to trash Cheney again...with a dose of dissension between Cheney and Bush thrown in.
