“Scooter” Libby scoots free
Horrible plays on words aside, this is obscene. You know “scooter” Libby? That guy that was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice? Yeah, he doesn’t have to serve the thirty month sentence that was ordered by a federal judge. Bush rescued him.
Who in the world do the administrators think they are? He was convicted. Literally found guilty of his crimes, and he does not have to serve the punishment for the crimes he committed because Bush takes care of his own, and is apparently above the law. Does he think that just because he is president, that makes it okay to disregard the law? I guess so. Libby still has to pay the $250,000 fine and the conviction still stands–he just doesn’t have to serve time. The fine should be no problem. Hell, Bush and Cheney will probably cut him a check.
Absolutely ludicrous. When anyone else commits a crime, they do their time if they are convicted. Not Bush or his friends. I’m really hoping this motivates the senate to impeach after Bush also ignored the subpoenas that were issued to him over certain White House documents. Deliberations have begun. I saw we throw Bush’s ass in prison for lying to an entire nation, needlessly killing innocent Iraqi civilians and American soldiers, and being a giant douche.
Bush claims to be a good Christian–doing God’s work. He surrounds himself with people who are Christians like himself. What does the Bible say about the administration’s actions? Prepare yourself for hypocrisy:
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.
Holy shit! What happened to following God’s word? The Lord hates George Bush (or at least his actions) and everyone involved in their criminal activities. I wonder if Bush has even bothered to read anything that’s written in the Bible.
So, where was I? Oh, yeah. Impeach Bush and throw Libby’s ass in prison where it belongs. That is all.
UPDATE 07/03/07: The White House has issued a press release for Bush’s executive clemency action. It appears to be written by Bush, but I don’t see any made-up words, spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors. It’s probably written by one of his goons. Needless to say, the explanation is empty and unsatisfying. I’m moving to Canada.
Thanks to Hemant for the story.
