Pardon me...but I can't help but comment on this "Scooter" Libby situation.
Here is Hillary Clinton's comment on the pardon: "Today's decision is yet another example that this administration simply considers itself above the law". I wanted to respond immediately, but I was laughing so loud that my fingers could not work the key board.
Bill Clinton pardoned over 200 people including 147 "under the table" on his last day in office.
Today I heard this comment by a left wing pundit: "OK Clinton pardoned over 200 people but none were involved directly with him"...give me a break. Let's look at a few of them...
Marc Rich pardoned - he was wanted by the US government for evading over 45 million in taxes, and just by coincidence his ex wife donated over a million dollars to the Clinton library a few months before the pardon.
Henry Cisneros pardoned - Clinton's former HUD secretary who pleaded guilty to making false statements to federal officials
Roger Clinton pardoned - the Presidents half brother who was convicted of cocaine distribution in Arkansas
Susan McDougal pardoned - former Clinton business partner in jail over the Whitewater scandal.
Plus countless drug dealers, and other felons that in one way or another "supported" the Clintons. So you decide if none of the above "Were directly connected to the Clintons"
The beauty of our constitution is that it allows all citizens to speak freely...that's why I love Blogs. But for the Clintons to speak about "cronyism" in the Bush administration is laughable. The Clintons have written the book on "cronyism" and the book could be cast in bronze - Rodin would be proud.

My name is Chuck. My grand kids gave me the name "Chuckie D"...and it stuck. This blog will not discuss any controversial subjects...only the simpler subjects such as politics, religion, abortion, immigration, and of course, Global Warming.
About Me
- Chuckie D
- Templeton, California, United States
- Married to a wonderful lady, have six great kids along with their spouses, and the coolest grand kids anyone could ask for. I worked all my life in the underwater instrument/camera business, founding my own company in 1979. In 1993 we sold our business and retired to the Central Coast of California and live on a 20 acre ranch in a home we built ourselves. I have always been an athlete, competing in football, baseball, basketball, long distance running, and triathlons most of my adult life, until "father time" caught up to me. Now I swim, walk, and bike, but my joints say "no more running or competitive sports!" In retirement, I farm a small vineyard with Pinot Noir and Viognier vines, and make wine in a small winery we built on our property. And yes, it is good wine.

It depends on what the definition of "directly involved" is. Bill Clinton could find multiple definitions of "is," so I'm sure he'd have a field day defining "directly involved."
