I’ll keep this post brief.
As we have been reading president George W. Bush is following tradition of his predecessors by granting Pardons or sentence reductions to those convicted of a wide range of crimes. To date he has issued over 100 pardons or granted clemency to criminals. One high level name that comes to mind is Vice President Cheney’s former White House Aide Scooter Libby whose sentence was reduced.
Juice readers Poll. Will president Bush issue pardons to any of the following:
1. Junk Bond King Michael Milken
2. Former SD Congressman “Duke” Cunningham
3. Border patrol officer Jose Alonso Compean
4. Border patrol officer Ignacio Ramos
Junk Bond King -yes
“Duke” -yes
Jose – no
Ignacio -no
These are fairly uneducated guesses. Time will tell. Let me know if I win the contest. A ride on the M.V. Rose Parade float would be a unique prize! I’d like to rename it from ‘Making a Spash’ to “Trying to Stay Afloat,” Pun uninteneded.
George W is more sympathetic to drug dealers, corrupt politicians and criminals than he is to his own countrymen that are putting their lives on the line guarding our border from foreign people bringing the massive amounts of drugs coming into our country from Mexico. Words cannot describe the disdain that I have for this stupid and incompetant leader of the free world. Come quickly Jan 20th 2009.

Larry,
He may want to preemptively pardon himself, Cheney and Rummy…sooner or later the World Court is bound to indict the lot of them.
email response:
Praying that he will pardon Compean and Ramos
I don’t think that he will pardon any of these four people!
