    Who would have thought?...

    Who would have thought ...... Cheney would ask (tell) Bush to pardon Libby? Or that Bush is stubborn.

    I think Libby got a raw deal, I really think Bush should have pardoned him, and I was disappointed when he didn't. For the last 8 years, Bush made many decisions based on the advise of Dick Cheney, they all turned to crap and Bush leaves office with a 26% approval rating. So, when Cheney asked Bush to pardon Libby, ....... Bush said" "F"... you!, and "F"... Scooter!"

    So, Bush and Cheney have a falling out, and Scoooter Libby gets srewed.

    America the Beautiful.
