Bonds is to Libby as Martha Stewart was to Ken Lay.

There has got to be a really geeky way to say that with New Math.

the race card shouldn’t be played. He should be saying something “Just because I am an asshole, people are persecuting me”

I think this should be a the next excuse for everything…

The assholes in the world are always being bombblasted for something.

It’s really not fair. It’s the last front of bigotry. People who hate assholes.. assholesicsm.

Call the ACLU!

Using ‘performance enhancing drug’ and lie about, it can get you 30 years in prison.
In sports these days enhancing drugs,is the talk of the day.
It is not limited just to baseball,but in all kind of sports from wrestling,to running,to football..etc..etc..and Bond is not the only baseball player that used enhancing drugs.

BUT

Start a war, you walk free….mmmm !!

Of course, the one big difference is that Scooter did it to protect Bush. Bonds didn’t do it for Bush.

OTOH – I would like to think that justice is equal (and I also believe in the Hannukah Bunny). If one wants equal justice, all Bonds did is protect a lot of folks with bulging biceps who will probably develop heart disease from their Steroid use. Scooter did much more harm by destroying faith in the government and demolishing national security by participating in Outing a covert agent and protecting the folks who did it.

I find the timing of this story very suspect….Is the corporate media this desperate in finding distraction? A distraction to hide the obvious corruption being uncovered? The OJ simpson case has not gained much interest… Hilton and Spears is not a top story…
And a worse fear and maybe a bit paranoid but could it be corporate MSM, that we know is in Bush’s back pocket, is looking for a story to hide or help dilute what is to happen?…. like bomb Iran?

Its just baseball, people, not rocket science. He used performance enhancing drugs and lied about it. Big deal ! These drugs are in our high schools with any coach that is pushing for the winning team. Don’t kid yourself. These drugs only injure the person using.
How about going after real criminals that lie, cheat and refuse to answer investigative questions. Funny how that never happens.

Sure, but he can still go for the Presidential pardon, IF he backs up a dump truck full of $$$$…

In order to have a sentence commuted, the GOP requires the original charge to be related to activities that have damaged National Security. Bonds has only damaged the National League.

A pardon will, as he deserves it.

This is a race issue youâ€™re trying to make, and you know it. Bonds can file an application with the President as to what makes him a candidate for a commutation/pardon if he is convicted.

Comment by Usual Leftist

Libby deserves prison, and YOU know it. He lied under oath and obstructed justice, repeatedly. The major difference between these two is that Scooter Libby is a convicted felon. Since you are rather dense, I’ll shout it out for you: A CONVICTED FELON. A jury of his peers sat through days of testimony and the introduction of evidence and, after extensive deliberation, 12 people unanimously determined beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed one or more FELONIES. Get it?

I have an update for you, son: Weâ€™re winning in Iraq.

Comment by Usual Leftist â€” November 16, 2007 @ 1:18 pm

we? cowards like you aren’t helping the cause any, and, in fact, Iraq is lost, and will never be won, mainly because of chickenhawk pussies like you. YOU have lost Iraq, and we won’t let you forget it.
