		<description>Did the White House spokesperson plead the ignorance from under a table or behind a curtain?  

Or was this all done while e-mail&#039;s were being deleted and numerous paper shredders sprinted to destroy all those pesky words and numbers that could get people in trouble after January 20?</description>

		<description>Can you imagine being related to such an incompetent boob as the lesser Bush?  Now H.W. and Jeb both will be forced to deny that they know Toussie.  That or they will be forced to confess that they have zero contact with the black sheep of the family.  This will continue until the Bush name is no more.</description>

		<description>#23, ralph,
Apparently IOKIYAR

When it comes to Bush - 
1.  everything is legitimate, 
2.  or has a good reason, 
3.  or was simply forgotten, 
4.  or was a completely innocent mistake.  
So say all repugs - this is on their list of talking points to be memorized.  They are free to choose their own numbered selection.</description>

		<description>No one here has defended the Mark Rich pardon, but the repugs have not stopped talking about it in 8 years.
Now that Bush has made news with his pardon, that he tried to take back, then lied, denying any conneciton to the family, Proud thinks we should not talk about it.
It&#039;s tough being repugniscum these days isn&#039;t it.</description>

		<description>Hey, Prod, can you explain why you seem to justify right-wing behavior by the worst of Democrats have done, yet judge liberals by a much more strict code of conduct which relies primarily on assumption and has nothing to do with an established pattern of conservative governance?

Just curious.</description>

Marc Rich….ring a bell. Oh yea his pardon was just fine.&lt;/em&gt;

Trust me, we won&#039;t be talking about Toussie eight years from now.

Personally, I recognize it&#039;s just a plain fact that there are no known legal restrictions on the power of the President to pardon anyone he damn well pleases, unless and until the Supreme Court rules otherwise.  But I don&#039;t have to like it.</description>
