[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 865535, member: 13555"] You termed Scooter Libby's commuted prison sentence as a pardon. I brought up the fact that Scooter didn't get a full pardon, but a commuted prison sentence. Look up the definition of pardon and commutation in the dictionary and you will see a world of difference in their respective definitions. We all know that Scooter got a break because of Cheney, so yes it was politicially motivated. Oh, and doing some reading on Olly North, I didn't find anywhere where he was "officially" pardoned by either Reagan or Bush sr. Granted the government may have added a little "pressure" to the Appeals Court decision and to the decision by the Supreme Court to not hear the case, but "officially", as far as I know and remember, he didn't receive a pardon. I understand that Bloggo hasn't either, but his trial is not over with nor are his appeals that will surely follow if he is convicted. Personally, I could care less about political motivation, all the guys and gals in Washington care about is getting reelected or covering their asses if they screw up, or get thown under the bus as Libby did. You think anyone in Washington gives a poop about you and me? And by breaking down your comments to a third grade level, you help all of us dumb union folks, that you supposedly represent, understand your political meanderings, (to put it mildly), that much better. Oh, and before you label me as a Republican or Democrat, I am not registered with either party as I believe both political parties have their respective ongoing problems to deal with. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
