That was the deal ...Jul 2nd, 2007 - 22:19:24

Scooter blocks the investigation to protect Cheney et al.

Cheney and Bush agree to help him stay out of prison.

Done deal.

Laughable President. Laughable Cheney. The worst administration in the history of the US continues. Hope you people that STILL drive around with the Busch/Cheney 2004 bumper stickers are happy.

Where is justice?Jul 2nd, 2007 - 22:41:33

No matter what anyone in the White House does, no matter how horrible the crime is, and no matter what the courts say, good ol' W has the power to play 'get out of jail free' card, and he always does. Why is that nobody in our government will accept responsibility? They're all cowards and hypocrites. Disgusting.

I hate that our leaders are immune from justice. It's simply wrong.

This is the most shamelessly criminal administration in recent history. They are making saints out of Nixon and Reagan with their measly Watergates and Iran-Contras.

I get it...the guy does the dirty deed and get a get out of jail free card by the very people who assigned him the dirty deed....What I don't get is how a president can continuously violate the spirit and letter of the law and there is no outrage by congress or the media or the people....observe the decline of a once great nation so steeped in corruption it doesn't recognize it when it smacks it in the face...God help us survive this amazingly incompetent loser and his cronies. Mr. Nixon resigned over much less serious crimes than what this guy has done.

if this was any average American, they would be going directly to jail, do not pass go do, not collect 200 dollars.....but for anyone in the almighty Bush administration...they are above the law!!!

Just one question for the media and the Bush administration. How many other sentences did his royal highness(Bush) and the hemorrhoid(Cheney) commute this week for being excessive ?? (my bet is , not one !!)

Not only it makes Nixon look a saint, it emboldens corrupt leaders all over the world. Plain and simple shameless. So called flag bearers of democracy will be dictorial if had a chance. Wonders how could this administrator preach democracy? Scale may be different but principles are compromised.
