pgardn,
I agree.
Do you remember how we got into this war?
Suffer those that died for the lies, and those that sustained wounds and lack of care. The mantra has been "support our troops". I do.
The fabricators are the ones I could do without.
Do you think a pardon is in order?
Do you think there should be an investigation into Halliburton's no-bid contracts and who might have arranged for them?
Loyal Americans await answers, as they should.

Good you got a giggle. To me, in a way, it's really not all that funny.
These people are serious. Too many are influenced by their spin.
They are complicit in selling the current circumstances.

On a side note, I like your Teddy Roosevelt quote in your tag. I wish more people could understand what it means.

Bigrun,
The photo at the top of the link says it all, Pardoners-in-chiefs.
Clinton for Marc Rich, and Ford for you-know-who.
Justice denied. Maybe Dubya will add his name to the hall of shame.

Pardon Me! -- The Pardon Resource Center

Welcome to the federal section of "Pardon Me!" the Pardon Resource Center of the World Wide Web.

Each year the President of the United States pardons a turkey before Thanksgiving at a White House ceremony. In 2006, President Bush gave two turkeys named Flyer and Fryer a last-minute reprieve. The two hailed from Monett, Missouri. For the fourth time, the American public was allowed to vote for the turkeys' names on the White House web site. 2005's turkeys were named Marshmallow and Yam; 2004's were named Biscuit and Gravy; and 2003's were Stars and Stripes.

In a surprise announcement by President George W. Bush, this year, in lieu of a turkey, Lewis "Scooter" Libby will be pardoned. Libby, who had been indicted on five felony counts for perjury, false statements and obstruction of justice, and one misdemeanor charge involving an altercation with two lesbian cheerleaders, said "Yeah. Like I didn't see that one coming." President Bush stated that he had decided to pardon Libby, preempting Thanksgiving, in order that "the nation can get back to its real business," declining to elaborate on what that business is other than to hint it includes "reapportionment of capital from the less to the more deserving, as determined by wealth".

"We got to erode this culture of persecution," said President Bush, who wore a symbolic black and white "prison stripes" outfit for the occasion of the announcement this morning in the White House Rose Garden. "I'm starting with a blanket pardon for Scooter Libby, who I know is a real hard worker and who probably didn't do anything wrong, and if he did, I'm sure he's learned his lesson and I'm going to forgive him and the American people should."

Libby's pardon raised the hackles of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, who led the two-year investigation that resulted in Libby's indictment.

"It's complete horse ****," said the blunt-spoken prosecutor, "but frankly, I would have been more surprised if the lying rat-bastard brown-noser didn't get off the hook. At least the Chicago criminals have a little dignity."

A team of Republican senators led by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is now attempting to have Patrick Fitzgerald arrested for "sustained harassment and pestering" of Mr. Libby. A civil suit has also been filed against the special prosecutor by lawyers for Mr. Libby seeking damages for "emotional stress and foot trauma" associated with the exposure and subsequent reprinting of Mr. Libby's widely derided fictional novel, The Apprentice.

Libby's novel, which he claims is not autobiographical, features incest, and a hunter who considers whether to engage in an act of bestial necrophilia with a freshly killed deer before it gets cold.

"It's not the pure pulp you'd expect from a hack like Bill O'Reilly," says Libby, "although both of us are admittedly experts at creating and sustaining fictional scenarios. That's the nature of our work."

Happy Thanksgiving Scooter.
