Libby
Bush’s pardon of Scooter Libby was one of two things:
1) a reward for his loyalty
2) a bribe to keep him silent
Of course it’s not fair, of course there’s no legal argument to justify it. These people are fucking gangsters, and they do what gangsters do. Gangsters make up their own rules, which usually involve loyalty, power, victory, and little else. That’s who runs this country. I suspect that’s who has always run this country.
I do like to think, though, that Bush paused a moment, uncertain, when it was recommended that he commute Scooter Libby’s sentence. And then someone said, “what, you think your poll numbers can get any lower?”
