I continue to be amazed at the childishness on DU. They are clearly angry about this as we might be if the roles were reversed (witness Clinton). However, I think we are adult enough to realize that the President has the constitutional authority to commute/pardon and it is not reviewable. That is, we may dislike it but that is just the way things are. We may use the occasion to make great political noise.
Most of the posts on DU are just rants calling for impeachment. They are completely illogical and in a rage. I read through hundreds of posts and there was only one acknowledgement that Bush can legally do this. In the past I have seen some of the folks post over there that are obviously well-read. Most are just screaming children. I would like to know the demographics of that group. They have to be mainly ignorant16 – 22 year olds or older washouts from the 60’s.
Unfortunately for us these types on the Left are not allowed to take center stage. If they were, it would be the end of the Democrat party. What a bunch of whackos.
I think the whole rotten, co-opted media should be held accountable for selling out and permitting themselves to be spoon-fed half-truths and rumors from political hack scumbags in the first place. Zero integrity merits zero respect.
Forget about partisan politics for a moment: if you’d ever known anyone who’s done covert work for a federal agency, I bet you’d take this more seriously. Mishandling classified information should be punished to the fullest extent of the law— I don’t care who does it. Brave men and women who serve their country as undercover operatives deserve far better than to have their life thrown away as expendable pawn in a politican’s chess game. Shameful.
Scooter Libby and Sandy Berger should be cellmates.
I couldn’t agree more. Wouldn’t it be great to showcase the DU types every night?
“This is your party, democrats”.
The mostly elderly democrats, especially those in the rust belt, haven’t a clue about the types on DU. That’s why the drive by media won’t showcase them.
