Sen. Feingold warns Bush on pardons

[Doogle]

Barney the dog should put the “pardon” to Feingold’s juevos.

..oh I thought you had a scoop, but now I see you meant the real dog

[vetvetdoug]

Do I remember Feingold admonishing Clinton about the misuse of pardons prior to his exit or was I just having a dream?

[BuffaloJack]

Pardon border agents Ramos and Compean.
If anyone ever needed a presidential pardon those guys do.

[wolfcreek]

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

[Dead Corpse]

Sit down, shut up Russ. Don’t make me say it again...

[wolfcreek]

Beat me by 42 seconds!

[Carley]

Pretty damned dumb even mentioning the word pardon at this time.

[shhrubbery!]

Wasn't it the Puerto Rico separatists as opposed to the Weather underground?

It was both.

Clinton pardoned both the Puerto Rican FALN terrorists AND two members of the "Weather Underground." One of latter was Susan Rosenberg.

[ColdWater]

Did he issue the same warning to Bill Clinton?

No need to. He knew BC would not abuse his power but use it for good only.

"Yet the power can also be used to show mercy -- Clinton used the pardon power a number of times to lessen the impact of draconian mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenders."

[Theodore R.]

Feingold: it’s enough to make one boycott WI!

[Theodore R.]

Don’t you see? He says this to GWB because he knows GWB won’t retaliate. B.C. would have retaliated.

[Moby Grape]

If I were Bush I would send Feingold a PUBLIC letter stating that Bush would NOT pardon ANY terrorists as Clinton did...and further more, Mr. Feingold, STFU.

[pabianice]

As a Jew let me apologize for Feingold. He is a true Leftist asshole and a perfect example of why I fled from the Liberalism in which I was raised.

[ZULU]

Palin/Jindal or vice versa.

[Verginius Rufus]

Clinton pardoned Puerto Rican terrorists who had not even applied for pardons...apparetnly something that Eric Holder had been pushing for a long time, and Clinton finally saw the wisdom of when Hillary decided to run in a state with a lot of Puerto Rican voters.

Sean Hannity had the son of the one of the victims of the FALN on his program last night--as usual Alan Colmes was very rude to the man.

[mombonn]

Ooh, I can only imagine the replies to this idiot. Can’t wait to scan the thread.

[Yaelle]

Cut the cr@p with posting this. I wasted 12 minutes of my life actually listening to it.

The hosts kind of trick the Ambassador by asking if Obama’s birthplace is a monument, and the Ambassador answers that Obama’s grandmother is still alive, and that “it” is already a tourist attraction. “it” probably means her home or town.

[Old Sarge]

They think that we’re all morons and that we have no memories whatsoever.

And they would be right. That's why they won.

The American people are Leftists. Anyone who still holds to the canard that this is a center-right country is self-delusional. This is a Leftist nation with a Leftist government.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Anotherwords, pardon everyone in your administration, or the democrats will come after them for political gain and revenge.

[TexasRepublic]

Tell it to Clinton!
