I don't get this at all.
First of all IF it is really not an excuse why are you bringing it up?
Second of all, TELL ME who he pardoned that is even remotely in the same league as this in terms of corruption??
We are talking about lying to the American people and sabatoge of virtually everyone of its institutions (including 'media' and 'intelligence') by the executive branch in order to illegitamitely gain public backing to start a war that has cost a hundred thousand lives, likely a TRILLION or more dollars by the time it is done and actually managed to make the world a more dangerous place ALL while lining the pockets of Bush, Cheney and Libby's closest friends and backers - interestingly the only benefit i know of these actions - and then having the ONE person who actually managed to get caught being pardoned and in doing so crushing ANY little authority the judicial branch has left in government and over-ruling the JURY OF PEERS called to judge the case in the first place as set out in the constitution itself?!??!?!?
COME ON MAN!!! It is a new low, democrat or republican, and it is disgusting and shows how threatened the entire democratic process is in America...
