Bush Commutes Libby's Sentence

[Squeezer]

This is the way the world ends.

Our president's approval rating is so low, why should he care if it drops a few points?

This is really sad.

Discuss! (But play nice)

Are you fucking kidding me? I guess I shouldn't have thought that Bush would do the "right" thing and leave the justice system alone to do it's work, but this is fucking unconscionable.

Break the law, go to jail. Even Paris Hilton knows that (now).

Well, might as well keep the base happy if you have no chance of ever pleasing anyone else.

i got some weird image results when i googled "libby"

I guess since he didn't give Libby a full pardon he didn't think people would be too mad? :turned:

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Make no doubt about it, he will give Libby a full pardon right before he leaves office.

[Squeezer]

Make no doubt about it, he will give Libby a full pardon right before he leaves office.

Absolutely, without a doubt.

What will it take to impeach this guy? Clinton got a BJ and was removed, but at least he didn't start unnecessary wars and fill his administration with criminals.

I saw this on the news ^_^

Bush has no need to do the "right" thing at this point. The dude can bring home the troops, make a daffodil field out of Iraq, and shoot a rainbow out his ass and we wouldn't change our mind. Probably sees it like "Fuck it, I'll do whatever I want, I'm gone soon anyways."

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Except, of course, he is the motherfucking President of the United States of America. Aren't we supposed to be better than this? Dear god, CAN'T we be better than this? I know spoiled third graders who can behave better.

Ultimately, the people do have the right to impeach him and his "above the law, shoot old men in the face" veep. Now if one of our representatives would just have some nuts to step up...

[Dameon Angell]

That's the keyword "Supposed" to be. We are supposed to be better than this, but we're not. Hold out til the next election, it's not too far away now.

I dunno too much about the american system but I always thought there was this 3 powers thing to keep everyone in check, this doesn't look much like there's 3, more like 1 amirite.

[Fit of Rage]

Did any body else just think of the South Park record executive?

"I am above the law!"

Not 100% related but still: Holocaust survivor goes back to Germany: "I've seen this before"

[Emaho]

What did you expect when you elected him for another four years when the first four went so well :turned:
