Whelp, looks lawk Dubya has done pardoned hisself out. Two ex-border guards convicted of shooting an admitted drug smuggler in the ass will soon be out on the streets, their sentences commuted. The move is expected to delight the law 'n' order/anti-immigration crowd.
The non-pardons are expected to be the closest thing to last-minute pardons before Bush leaves office, though he can technically pardon anyone he wants until Obama is sworn in.
Bush previously issued 14 pardons before Christmas when nobody was paying attention, but sadly, nothing and no-one monserously controversial. In fact, at a piddly 189 pardons, Bush trails Clinton (457), Reagan (406) and one-term wonder Jimmy Carter (563).
Even worse, Bush isn't issuing dozens of controversial, pre-emptive pardons for war criminals and torture-boosters his administration was home to.
And here I was hoping to type up an easy afternoon cheap shot against the outgoing Worst American President Ever.
Oh well.

Bush has Pelosi and Reid still in place; the Democrats didn't lift a finger to hold Bush Co. accountable in eight years of malfeasance, why would they start now? It would be a crime against 'the American Way'.
Bipartisan BBQ, this July 4 at Cheney's house: all Republican chickenhawks, Blackwater killers,2000 election thieves and their Democratic enablers invited. We'll talk old tymes one more tyme before we disconnect Cheney's Flux capacitor and put him back in the vault. Ken Lay sends his regrets-he's hosting a gay midget under-17 fire dancer party at his compound in the Dominican; Osama might be there. Leahy, you bring the O'Douls; DeLay, you get the coke. We're building a bonfire out of New Orleans' Lower 9th and roasting the bodies of the neighbourhood's fatherless children. One last tyme.
