IT'S ON FUCKING CNN! It's commuted! Libby's not going to jail!

[originalpckelly]

Let's raise fucking hell NOW!

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

BREAKING ON CNN!

Libby's not going to jail, he was not pardoned, but Bush commuted the sentence to nothing. This is a clear abuse of power and all measures must be taken to remove the President from office. He must be impeached at all costs.

"At this point, I would like to juxtapose a few of the impeachment criteria with some of the actions the President has engaged in. Impeachment criteria: James Madison, from the Virginia ratification convention. 'If the President be connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter him, he may be impeached.'"

--Representative Barbara Jordan, Statement on the Articles of Impeachment for President Richard Nixon

73. Tyler takes a short bow...

I call those assholes weekly...not that it will do any good with that rePuke of the highest order Dave Camp.

[Beaverhausen]

3. fuck

[Stephanie]

5. MORE INFO PLEASE

Did Bush commute the sentence? What's the deal. No CNN here. WTF???

[Connie_Corleone]

10. Try MSNBC

[Stephanie]

18. Umm, no TV here

thanks anyway

[goodgd_yall]

Try www.msnbc.msn.com

[Connie_Corleone]

53. My bad. I read your reply wrong. Didn't know you didn't have a TV.

[MonkeyFunk]

14. Yes

being reported now.


Not a pardon, but a commutation of of the prison part of the sentence. Still convicted, still has to pay fines and be on probation, but no prison.

[notadmblnd]

19. Yes, Libby's sentence has been commuted. the part about the fines stay in place.

ya think anyone in congress is going to do a damn thing about this? And if they do, will it be just another harshly worded statement?

[graywarrior]

6. This administration does not give a fuck what we think or do.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. this administration has nothing left to lose.

their approval rating is at an all time low and cheney isnt running for election.

[graywarrior]

34. Well, I hope they get what they deserve.

And I hope it comes soon.

[Lars39]

37. yep.

Although I think massive national strikes would possibly make them blink real fast.

[graywarrior]

42. Is the rest of the country that motivated? I wish.

[Lars39]

45. Parts are, others won't ever be, and others are well on their way.

[graywarrior]

50. I hope so--between SiCKO and this coz we have over 18 more months left with this fuck.

He shit all over this country and is relaxed and calm about it.

[michreject]

61. This shit will be forgotten in 18 mos.

There will be other, more damning shit that will happen between now and then.

[graywarrior]

63. My point exactly. 18 more miserable months with Cheney & Rove.

[obxhead]

7. You didn't see that coming?

[Crabby Appleton]

11. what'd you expect? nt

[nini]

16. exactly.. this place is going to explode when this was so predictable

just another day under the dictator and his cronies.

[malta blue]

12. This is HUGH11!!!

Seriously though, this was inevitable (not that I am condoning it at all)
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[nini]

13. are you really that surprised?

Seriously, anyone who didn't think W was going to do this has not been paying attention the last 6 years. They are ABOVE THE LAW - they have proved this over and over and over.

This doesn't even surprise me one bit - and that makes me more sad than anything. :-(

[dolo amber]

21. Not even remotely surprised

And yes, it's really fucking sad.

[goodgd_yall]

15. OMFG n/t

[originalpckelly]

22. Yep, I never thought he'd do it, I just could not bring myself to believe...

something so obviously corrupt would happen, but now it has and something MUST be done about it.

[XOKCowboy]

17. Oh well he's going to be on probation. I feel better..

What's the probation period for being a traitor and hiding other traitors? Less than a DUI I'm pretty sure.

[SydneyBristow]

20. grrr

its on ABCnews,com too

Little SHIT gotta way....
anyone one up for some good old fashioned rioting? :evilgrin:

[originalpckelly]

24. This is really not good at all, this is a very serious event.

We're watching something very dark happen.

[proud patriot]

23. .

:grr:

[VP505]

25. Talk about a poke

in the eye of every law abiding citizen and a real slap in the face to anyone ever spent a day in jail for the same crimes.

[thereismore]

26. Nation of fvcking laws! Let's see how people like that. This AWOL resident

has no respect for us or the laws we have to obey every day.

[DS1]

28. ABCDEFGHIJK LMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

[windbreeze]

71. that statement could have used an exclamation point or two at the end...n/t

[Graybeard]

29. Impeach these bastards!

There can be no other way to deal with the BushCo. Each day they remain in office is a disgrace.

[spanone]

30. These Criminals Have Huge Balls. I Guess We Should Just Go Fuck Ourselves.

i'm really sick of this shit.

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. Fucking SOB....NOW WILL CONGRESS DO SOMETHING WITH THESE FUCKERS????

:grr::nuke::grr::nuke:

[A wise Man]

32. That's it DAMMIT

It's every man and women for themselves. The Coup d'ete is complete. These gangsters in the WH are going to get away with any and everything they want. F_ _ K you Pelosi and Reed for not doing your job!!!!!

[IChing]

33. God damn it..........that's it ......where are our fucking democratic leaders?

ON FUCKING VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I warned you all that congress was not coming back until the 9th and something was going down.

[BlooInBloo]

35. Hopefully that's (a) the last republican President....

... and (b) A slew of Contempt of Congress/Inherent Contempt charges coming through.

[originalpckelly]

44. Clear grounds for impeachment. Just listen to Barbara Jordon quote James Madison:

"At this point, I would like to juxtapose a few of the impeachment criteria with some of the actions the President has engaged in. Impeachment criteria: James Madison, from the Virginia ratification convention. 'If the President be connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter him, he may be impeached.'"

--Representative Barbara Jordan, Statement on the Articles of Impeachment for President Richard Nixon

[windbreeze]

72. Nice to know we have the grounds, anyway..

I swear to god...I am going to make an impeach sign for my car window...maybe millions of these would get someone in gear???? or does anything we want stand a chance....??? I can't recall ever being so pissed at being told I don't matter, in my whole fucking life...there are simply NO WORDS for my disgust...NONE!! (and yes, I expected it, but to think the village idiot actually did it...arrrggghhh!!)
wb

[geomon666]

36. This is an outrage!

This is an absolute fucking outrage! How anyone except the filthy rightwing scum that roam this earth can excuse this is beyond me.

We have no fucking rule of law in this country.

[The Cleaner]

38. "But...but...impeachment isn't on the table."

:mad:

It better be now.

[ClassWarfare2008]

39. Is CHIMPEACHMENT on the fucking table yet, Nancy???

Fucking criminal pieces of shit.

[Zodiak]

41. If you fail to oppose him, you embolden him

and he is making some BOLD moves, isn't he?

He just commuted the sentence of a known traitor to our intelligence community for political reasons.

Will we continue to fail to oppose him?

Will it embolden him further?

[A wise Man]

49. Al Capone and John

would be proud of his new found children.

[Arkansas Granny]

46. Unbelievable. He just doesn't care anymore (if he ever did at all).

The law means nothing to him, he just wants his way, like a spoiled child. Again, he has thumbed his nose at the American justice system. Bringing more integrity to the White House, doncha know.

[originalpckelly]

47. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

[zabet]

48. It is time for the people of America to gather up burning..

torches and farm implements and march en masse on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!!!!!
:nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke:

[XOKCowboy]

51. Did you see Scooter walking outside the courthouse? Smiling like he'd just had sex...

Well I guess he did. He screwed the constitution and the law.

That smirk just irritated the hell out of me. He knew he'd never go to jail. He just got paid for his services.

[pink-o]

52. Great. Are they gonna "commute" the election in November 08?

...I think for this 4th of July, Bush, Cheney and Condi should just burn a big effigy of the Constitution on the White House lawn. It would be a gesture representative of what our country has become.

[Madspirit]

54. I am SO shocked

Oh wait...I'm not.

k&r...
Lee

[wiggs]

55. Not going to jail and not talking to Fitz. Plame case over. nt

[tinrobot]

56. So Paris Hilton got more time for driving without a license....

...than Scooter got for starting a war that killed thousands upon thousands.

Sigh....

[huskerlaw]

59. She also got more air time

and more national attention.

x(

[firefox_fan]

57. Probably Libby's lawyer was instructed to send an incriminating letter

To the press/Congress as soon as Libby went to jail. And the WH knew well that was the case...

[Az_lefty]

58. I wonder if Pelosi still thinks Impeachment is off the table?

:grr: :grr:

[Gelliebeans]

60. Contact your Congress Critters

I just called my two Senators and my Repuke Congresswoman
I told them I expect something to be done, NOW.

These people are criminals and by staying silent we condone this behavior.

It takes a couple of minutes but we need to let them know we are watching and listening.

For crying out loud if 18% of the bush base is able to push this sentence to be commuted then certainly 70% of us that think that Bush shouldn't of pardoned this asshole should be able to flood them with our opinion.

[John Kerry VonErich]

68. And get snubbed in the process???

not worth it.

[Gelliebeans]

74. Sorry but asking for accountability

trumps your pride. If you want sit on your hands be my guest, knock yourself out. :hi:

[John Kerry VonErich]

75. fine

Either way, there won't be a change.

[michreject]

62. Everyone knew it was going to happen

It had to be done now so that buy the time the elections come around, this would be old news. The Jefferson bribery scandal will dominate the media during the election year. That will be fresh on everyones mind come the 1st of November, 08.

[INDIA]

64. Unbelievable. DAMNIT DAMNIT.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[John Kerry VonErich]

65. We are at a no win situation on this

Unfortunately there is really nothing anyone can do, despite the fact there are ways. Call your congressman and senators, you would be just another voice that will be ignored because the Libby case is "not that important to the issues of the American people".

[deaniac21]

66. Does this mean they will drop Rove's indictment too?????

[Xenotime]

67. LIBBY FUCKING NEEDS TO BE PUT AWAY!!!!!!!

THIS IS JUST FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS!!! I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!?!?!?
