"Pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining"

kagro x...

[F]ollowing George W. Bush's pardon (let's be honest) of Scooter Libby, a Republican's admonition to let anything play out in court ought to be regarded as worth exactly squat.

So long as George W. Bush wields the pardon pen, there are no courts. And any Republican who tells you otherwise is pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining.

the ramifications of bush's commutation of libby's sentence are so huge, i'm still attempting to digest them... i've obviously still got a lot more digestin' to do...
