Oh yes, its that time again. As Bush's presidency falls into it's final days ( praise God), every Tom, Dick and Joe the Plumber come out of the woodwork seeking a presidential pardon. This is a practice that unfortunately, all presidents employ in their final days. This democraddict has to admit that even Billy Clinton was "generous" with his pardons. He was too generous and shamefully so.

Let's face it, these people seeking pardons are criminals. They have already been charged and are already serving their sentences. In addition, a presidential pardon can protect an individual for future accusations. This is a scary thought given the fact that Bush's administration is guilty of so much corruption. Men like Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Gonzales, Cheney etc., could get away with murder, literally.

So Georgey boy, you may vindicate those who pulled at your puppet strings to bring this nation to near devastation through their self interest and greed. However, do your waning executive powers entitle you to pardon yourself?

Thankfully, no.

Although I am not much of a religious woman, may God have mercy on your soul Mr. Bush. That is, if you haven't already sold it to Cheney.
