"If he didn't act, it would have caused a fracture with the vice president."

michael isikoff, writing in newsweek, on bush extending clemency for scooter libby...

"I'm not sure Bush had a choice," says one of the advisers. "If he didn't act, it would have caused a fracture with the vice president."

i had to pick my jaw up off the floor when i read that sentence... could any statement given by anyone possibly be more crystal clear as to who is really acting as president of the united states...? it clearly is not george w. bush...

(thanks to raw story...)
