Because He Can, Period.
AP: "President Bush spared former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby from a 30-month prison term in the CIA leak investigation Monday, delivering a political thunderbolt in the highly charged criminal case. Bush said the sentence was just too harsh." Read the rest of the story.GWBush took office in 2001 with an attitude and an agenda that reflected a landslide victory in the general election - not the fact that he had not even garnered more votes than Al Gore. He has terrorized the environment, turned a federal surplus into an historic return to a crippling federal debt, blamed Saddam Hussein for 9/11, blamed hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi villagers for Hussein himself, and rewarded his oil baron buddies with pump prices in the 3.25 to 3.50 range with no explanation or defense. He brainwashed just barely enough of the American electorate to get re-elected by an eyelash and now he is not re-electable so he can now give full expression to his incalcuably arrogant and cynical agenda. This pardon of Libby is merely the latest evidence I offer to back up my six-year long assertion that GWBush is, in fact, The Most Cynical President Ever.
