Halloween Fantasies & Delusions (pt. 1)

Good article on possible future events, post-Fitzmas, but ending with this:

"But should we expect, given the Republicans' attempts to belittle and politicize the case thus far, that President Bush will pardon his senior administration official if Libby is convicted on these serious charges? The 1992 Christmas Eve pardons of Iran/contra defendants by former President George Bush Sr. provide cause for concern. Let us hope that the current President Bush will not undermine the rule of law in this way."

Pardon? He can frame it and hang it on his wall, right next to his Medal of Freedom plaque. It'll look spec-TAC-ular! I'm sure social planners at the White House have already pencilled in a long weekend in December 2008 for a "Beg Your Pardon?" Christmas bash.
