Richard Armitage is entitled to all the vitriol that could be aimed at him.

Actually, a title somewhat more fitting would have used the corresponding part of the opposite gender.

I’m sure if I had let it all hang out, people would have thought I was your sock puppet.

they’re “too nice.” I consider it much to your credit that no one has had to tell you that, Mike.

Because “juvenile” describes Armitage perfectly.

It probably hasn’t occurred to him yet, but he maintained his silence and allowed Scooter Libby to be investigated and prosecuted when the sole purpose for Dick’s silence was trying to keep his own little dirty secret hidden. He’s a disloyal gossip.

But in the end, it was revealed and now the world knows that he is a eunuch. Too cowardly to take responsibility for his own actions. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

not to mention all those who worked on the GWOT, my assumption is the same as yours. George Bush won’t do it.

icbm, IMO, you’re a bit too full of yourself here. You are entitled to your opinion, and we are entitled to dismiss it.

a gentleman’s bet?

I expect you will win, but what the heck - I’m going to bet on something good happening in this last weekend of the Bush presidency.

Hey, you’ve got nothing to lose - either you’ll be proven right, or you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The one thing about Bush you can count on is his consistency, and his misplaced trust of liberals.

He won’t want to do any last day pardons because of all the heat Clinton took for it. He also projects his compassion to others, especially liberals, even though they disappoint every time.

unless the president knows something that we don’t

or perhaps he will pardon him on his very last day in office.

But still, why isn’t President Bush pardoning Libby?

Libby is in this situation because President Bush assigned a political hack of the opposition party to a sensitive position. He then didn’t openly dispute this hack’s allegations, but backed away from administration claims about Saddam’s overtures to Niger when they were true. He didn’t open state why Wilson was assigned this position, but tried to get it into print via backdoor channels in the media. He assigned a special prosecutor to further legitimize Wilson’s claims. Now Libby is still unpardoned. Isn’t he suffering for what are ultimately the President’s mistakes?

could be granted in the simple execution of constitutional authority.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, a full and unconditional pardon is hereby issued as follows:

To: All departments, agencies, officials and administrative personnel.

Re: Any transgressions, perceived or real, that may have resulted from executing the Global War on Terror and the liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I would also include Powell as a man of little integrity - - something we don’t usually expect from career military.

Fitzpatrick has been lauded by the media recently in relation to his pursuit of the Governer in Illinois - - a man of integrity they have said. What nonsense… it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was working with the Obama administration to make certain the case doesn’t taint the new President. An opportunist and lawyer seeking fame, his pursuit of Libby was inexcuseable and transparent. It was just a way of ‘getting’ the Bush Administration.

Libby deserves a pardon ….. Armitage deserves our contempt.
