One of the flaws in our system of government is that the President (or anyone who’s stolen that title) can pardon anyone for anything. Gerald Ford (a Republican muppet) pardoned Richard Nixon not only for any crimes he may have committed but for any crimes he would commit in the future.
[I think it’s notable that the hands up Gerald’s ass at the time were those of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. With Cheney now holding all power, is it outrageous to believe that a pardon for his former chief of staff is unlikely?]
However outrageous it might be to think that the Unpresident would pardon Scooter, please think of all the outrageous moves the Bush Gang has made so far. We know Cheney remembers how he manipulated Ford into pardoning Nixon. Is it unthinkable that he’s going to manipulate Bush into doing the same for Scooter?
But as disgusting as that will be the real stomach-turner will be that the American people will let them get away with it.
If we cared about more than gas, cable and food on the table they wouldn’t have gotten as far as they have. Of course, the Bush Gang are outlaws. But they wouldn’t have taken over the town if any of the townspeople had spines.
