I didn't like it when Clinton pardoned a slew of crooks, now Bush is doing it

Let us not forget that William Jefferson Clinton earned an impeachment via perjury and didn't spend any time in jail.

Let us not forget that that was the saddest excuse for an impeachment ever. BJs in the Oval Office.

Clinton's impeachment was a political stunt, and a grandly successful one at that. Yes he lied, but about blowjobs. Not ratting out a CIA agent. Not that I like Clinton very much, but Libby and Co. deserved much more than a perjury conviction. It's a pity the only person they could get was Libby, and only on perjury.

PD

No, he was impeached for perjury.

Libby ratted out no one. One Richard Armitage leaked the info, and the special prosecutor knew it before he took Libby to trial.

His conviction was hardly for "ratting" on anyone, though.

An attempted railroad job that failed. He wasn't impeached for anything. As far as I know he was found innocent.

He was impeached. Its a lot like an indictment to you and I, except the entire house has to vote for or against it.

Admittedly the entire process is very political. Ask Andrew Johnson, the only other president to be impeached.

The really bad part is that the American people just go with it. Its times like these that I really dig the French. As weird and snooty as they are, if the government does something they don't want they riot til they get what they want.

Ford said he had to think a lot about it and what he did, he did for the country not for Nixon. Ford cut his own throat and he knew he did but he did what he thought was right. The country had been through enough. Got to respect that. There isn't a politician alive today with that kind of courage.
