@_@ Wow...I've enjoyed a lot of Keith Olberman's comments. But this really struck a nerve for me.

Happy 4th of July.

Oh come on, Clinton pardoned a shit-ton of his cronies. Bush commutes Libby, business as usual.

Worst moment in Clinton's entire Presidency. 2 wrongs don't lead to justice. Bush must resign or be impeached for the collective injustice. This is just the loudest symptom of corruption

Bush can't be impeached for "collective injustice", only for high crimes or misdemeanors. The commutation of Libby's sentance is no worse than any other high profile pardoning that has been done in the past.

And I don't foresee Bush resigning for following the standard procedures of the office he was elected to hold until the point where something impeachable or undodgeable surfaces. American politics are corrupt, but that's more the fault of the electorate being stupid and short-sighted, than the politicians taking advantage of the system.

Ben Franklin should've gotten his way and for the turkey to be the national bird. We should've been eating bald eagle all these years.

Let's look at Clinton's pardons, shall we?

Marc Rich: Can you say Oil-for-food kickback recipient?
Melvin Reynolds: Child rapist.
Antonio Negron: FALN terrorist who had been convicted, with others, of conspiring to plant 16 bombs in the US homeland.

Not to mention pardoning his brother, business associates of Hillary's and himself, and 130 more....

I'm sorry, did you just call me ignorant?

Why the FUCK do I keep you as a friend?

Wow. I've rarely heard a political arguement like that. That was powerful.

Obviously, however, I'm not qualified to comment on the substance of what he says, as George Bush is no more my President than Gordon Brown is your Prime Minister.

Nevertheless, Happy 4th July.
