A lippy Libby decision

There has been much commentary on the Scooter Libby commuted sentence by President Bush.

For one, today's USA Today article highlighting Senator Clinton: 'Clinton sees differences between Libby, husband's pardons'. I do too, say, um, the sheer NUMBER of them!?

She stated: "This particular action by the president is one more piece of evidence in their ongoing disregard for the rule of law that they think they don't have to answer to." (Since when is the President a They? Could she be referring to the club of office holders, to which her huband belongs? Or perhaps the "we" in the office from 1992-2000.)

Bush has commuted few sentences, according to the Justice Department. As of
March 31, he had granted three commutations in six years, compared with 61 by
Clinton during his eight-year tenure and 13 by Ronald Reagan, according to
department figures.

Clinton granted 61 commutations! 140 pardons!

But the favorite has to be John Edwards:

"In George Bush's America, it is apparently OK to misuse intelligence for political gain, mislead prosecutors and lie to the FBI."

Political gain? Have you seen the President's poll numbers? (Seattle Times has a humorist take.)

Freedom Eden has more reactions. It's all just mere rhetoric to me.
