Pardon Roulette

The end of a Presidential term, especially the second and final term, brings with it a game of chance… “Pardon Roulette”.   President Clinton brought us Marc Rich who was a convicted tax dodger who was on the run in Europe.  It may have helped that Rich’s ex-wife made a sizeable donation to the Clinton library.  We are all waiting to see who makes the cut this year with George W Bush. 

 

Most everyone’s favorite is Scooter Libby and although not totally necessary since Scooter already had his sentence commuted, it would be a nice touch.  Here are three who you might not think about:

 

• Donald Rumsfeld – crimes against humanity
• Ari Fleischer – lying to the American people
• Karl Rove – stealing and subverting the American Democracy

 

There are two more and you read it here first.  The justification behind these last two is the intent to keep the country focused on the huge recovery process President-elect Obama must undertake in order to correct the mess left by the out going Administration, and to begin putting America on the path to a brighter future.

 

1. The first step is to grant a full and total pardon to Dick Cheney.  Most everything that has gone wrong with US foreign policy and Government invasion of individual human rights and privacy can be traced to Cheney’s doorstep.  Historians will certainly establish that in the years to come. 

 

1. The next step is for President George W Bush to resign on January 19, 2009.  Vice President Cheney would then become the 44^th President (for one day).

 

    3. The third step is naturally for President Cheney to grant a full and total pardon to George W Bush. 

 

As disgusting as this prospect may seem, Bush and Cheney got away with most of their malfeasance and crimes in plain view, and with the support of most of Congress and the American people.  For sure the American people did not have all of the information.  Remember, however, it took almost 8 years of disaster and disaster and then the largest economic meltdown since the great depression for Americans to take note of what was happening right in front of them. 

 

My vote is not waste another breath on this group.  Let historians record their proper place in history.  Instead, let’s put our minds and backs to cleaning up the mess and restoring America to place of which we all can be proud.
