There is a thin line that runs between Cheney, Rumsfeld, Nixon, Reagan, Poppy and Junior. They have been pulling their stunts for 40 years. Enough is a enough!

"Oh give me a break......Cheney should be in jail for what he did to this country."

Well, Scooter WAS convicted, Bush set it aside in a totally corrupt two-step, then enraged Cheney by not pardoning him on the way out of office.

This is the second time this kind of stuff has happened under (R) leadership. Poppy Bush pardoned all the Reagan-era Iran-Contra henchmen and fall guys from the Reagan administration.

That kind of thing should be illegal. It allows the president to break the law through surrogates, then pardon them. Consider the implications of that. The very definition of why we don't have the divine right of kings anymore.

Difference between GWB, a man of absolute quality, and a democrat, selling pardons to the highest bidder. GWB said, "the courts make these decisions and I take seriously the notion of overriding them."

Clinton said, "How much money you got?"

Another lie, you scumbag.

Bush commuted his jail sentence. The conviction and fine stand.
