I have a question….has Bush ever…EVER…offered a reprieve of a sentence for an appeal? I mean he is so penurious in issuing pardons and commutations that I seriously doubt he even bothers about about reprieves on serving time.

I suspect this would be a unique case.

Bush generally only pardons people after they have already served their sentence and have lived “exemplary” lives for several years…and want the crime off the record.

And he only commutes sentences when the term is almost up.

I’ve never heard of him granting a temporary reprieve even when doing so might allow a prisoner to visit a dying parent. Or to appeal an upcoming execution.

So why does Libby get such a special deal???

What the “F” with George Stephanopoulousy (on ABC’s “This Week with (his) Georgeness” becoming Lieberman’s bitch claiming that “in all of these conflicts we see the hand of Iran”. He was speaking with Joe Biden, who chose to claim that Congress doesn’t have the power to stop the war.(and yet pushes for multi-millions of dollars for a “safer war vehicle” made by a major military manufacurer. No doubt, a major contributor to his Congressional “Warchest$” Who’s the bigger War Hardware Provider Dick-Licker? Stephanopolous, or Biden?

Blow it? No pun intended I hope.

Russert didn’t blow anything. He fulfilled his mandate as GE pitch man.

The true disgrace is why Dionne and Robinson would just sit there and not chime in, while Russert openly ignored them. The free bagels in the green room can’t be THAT fresh, that intelligent reporters wouldn’t risk displeasuring the boss in order to speak the plain truth.

MTP is farce, pure and simple.

Anyone who makes a mill or two writing a book about his Dad and then follows it up for another mill or two is not a journalist. Russert is a media power broker. And the fact that NBC continues to hawk him as a serious grand father of all their WDC reporters is a clear indication of just how pathetic ’serious journalism’ has become.

I’ve called, written, sent emails to Meet the Press complaining about the shallowness and outright bias of Mr. Russert. I will continue to do so but isn’t it about time a coordinate strategy be implemented to send this pompous blowhard packing? Let him live out his retirement in idle splendor on Martha’s Vineyard or,is it Nantucket, rather than polluting and dumbing down the political dialogue of the nation. Dump Russert! Your country will be better for it.

“Not only that, but last I checked, Ol’ Sixty Grit is on the board of the Catholic League(yeah, Dipshit Donahue’s outfit!!).”

What’s a Fascist Catholic group without a Closeted Lesbian?
