On his last day in office, George Bush will pardon Scooter for being a good soldier and falling on his sword. But until then, Scooter has to ask permission to go to the bathroom and there is justice in that.

I don't know that what you think is true, but I do know that on the local news here while they were reporting this the reporter said "Bush Won't Pardon Former Cheney Aide Yet" YET? But the media just reports without trying to influence opinion right? and they would never try to give the story a little push to the left now would they? YET? But don't get me wrong, I love the fact so many in the media are psychic these days.

Yeah, they even knew WTC #7 was going to collapse before it happened. Maybe they are just getting their scripts supplied early.

That's true zaph, but Bush is becoming more and more predictable everyday.

Ah the wee Willy bustard. Could not believe his choices of who he pardoned.
The one that got me the worse was Peter (Ronald) McDonald who fleeced the Dine (Navajo) instead of the sheep. A sick and cynical attempt to placate Native America for being to much of a stinkin' whimp to pardon Leonard Peatier.
Mark Rich was obviously guilty and should have had to pay the piper.
But of course worse than that are the undoubtedly MURDEROUS criminals Ragan/BushI pardoned. And now we've got them back Elliot Abrams, Poindexter, Otto Reich, Negroponte escaped on a technicality, but how the hell could he be welcomed back into government after what he did, which were crimes heinous. His name in Honduras? The Angel Of Death.
So some stupid freakin' little rich boy and an Apple willing to rob and beat his own people seem to pale in comparison to the evil(a word I rarely use), ferocious fascists Reagan/Bush let off the hook.
reason to impeach is to not let Jr do the same.

Atlas: it sure would, probably in neon letters. The thing that gets me is that Pres. Clinton lied about what EVERY man would lie about. Msr Libby lied about his possible involvement in treason. The two don't exactly equate. they both might be perjury though.

You still believe the Paula Jones story. I wouldn't drop my pants for her even if she was my doctor. I believe that even Pres. Clinton has higher standards than that. I believe the Monica story. That, although very wrong, is is a matter between husband and wife not congress.
BTW are you truly equating the possible sexual coersion of one person to TREASON against a nation. If so you may be more skewed than I!

"He did lie about Monica, but while under oath, he lied about Paula Jones."
ROFLMAO, he lied about what any man would lie about, an affair. In fact it seems Mr Contract For America had to excuse himself from the investigation since he HIMSELF wasin the middle of an affair. Maybe you can look back a little and discover that until the RNC PAID Paula Jones she had nothing to say and after being PAID she suddenly remembered whatever they wanted.
