Sen. Feingold warns Bush on pardons

salon.com ^ | November 20, 2008 | Sen. Russell Feingold

[TRY ONE]

Soupy Sales on his show back in the 50’s or whatever:

Soupy: “Here's little Susie, she swallowed a needle when she was 5, but didn't feel a prick till she was 12!”

[justiceseeker93]

The current president, who has shown such disrespect for the rule of law during his term...

Hey, Feingold, there were no Wacos nor government sposored kidnappings of children within the borders of the US during the current president's term.

But, heck, since those atrocities, and many more, occurred under the Clinton regime, I suppose you've long forgotten about them!

Yet the [pardon] power can also be used to show mercy - Clinton used the pardon power...

Oh, yes, the "merciful" Bill Clinton. Apparently, Feingold has also conveniently forgotten the deaths of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and at least several others who crossed Clinton's path.

[LiteKeeper]

He needs to check the record of William Klintoon!

[Albion Wilde]

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

LOL!!!

[2dogjoe]

F. U. Russ.

[cdpap]

If I were Bush I would pardon every person who ever worked for me and all political allies. Don’t forget members of your immediate family too. The democrats will stop at nothing in their bds fueled pogroms.

[E. Cartman]

How about Ramos and Compeon, RUSS? Would that be OK with you?

Pardoning Ramos and Compean would be the right thing to do, so don't hold your breath waiting for him to act.

I still wonder what sort of dirt Mexico has on Bush.

[ZULU]

“We have dishonored our forefathers as well as our own parents who died to protect and defend this nation.”

Freedom granted by our forebearers appears to have been treated like the pearls cast before swine.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"...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..."

Message to Senator Feingold. Get bent! As a matter of fact, if Bush does not pardon Ramos, Campeon and Scooter Libby he is a total POS.

[wardaddy]

lefty has chutzpah running out his ass doesn’t he?

screw him.

[Marysecretary]

Oh, brother. What a ditz. She should have thought about that when Clinton was pardoning terrorists. What a joke. I hope Bush pardons every stinking person he can think of, and especially the border agents.

[no dems]

Hey Russ; BITE ME!

[eyedigress]

This is so stupid. Russ is acting tough now that he knows Bush is out. Bush should pardon Barack Obama and shut up all their dumb-ass posturing.

[Yaelle]

I know, but that is no proof of birth. The ambassador COULD HAVE easily meant the old Obama homestead or somesuch.

[ckilmer]

true but we have also heard reports that obama’s grandmother claims he was born in kenya.

Further obama has chosen to stonewall efforts to get his birth certificate in Hawaii.

So this is another datapoint.

the supremes will be ruling on this dec 5

[Yaelle]

I know. Glad you finally posted it in its own thread. It’s not proof of anything, and neither is a proud Grandma who might indeed say anything to get attention, not that I wish to deny her the joy she must be feeling now.

Back when I was in Jr. High in "Joisey" I used to watch Soupy. There were a lot of apocryphal stories like that; none of them are true. The one exception was when he told the "kids" to sneak into their parents bedrooms and take a dollar from their wallets and send them to him after which he took a pie in the face. The joke backfired when money actually begin to show up in his mail.

I suspect the kids who fell for that one are now voting Democrat...they never can tell a joke from reality.
