Let's start a pool. How many people will Bush pardon? I'm guessing 87. nm

1. That's way low..

250 - 300, minimum. There's a lot of felons up there.

[rhett o rick]

15. Disagree. He is an elitist. He will only pardon the top elite. He will throw the rabble

under the bus. Like Duke Cunningham. Even maybe Abramoff and Libby.

[rwheeler31]

2. Everyone who voted Gop ever.

[Lancer]

3. I'm going with 281

What do we win?

[evlbstrd]

4. I'm going with 462.

[Thor_MN]

5. How many people worked for him? I'll got for that number

He'll will toss the little people under the bus, so that will cover his 'base' cronies that need pardons.

[But....]

6. 104!

pulled out of thin air

[bluestateguy]

7. Duke Cunningham, Abramoff, Bob Ney, the Enron criminals

He may throw in a few Democratic politicians (Edwin Edwards, Jim Traficant, maybe?) to show how magnanimous he is.

Oh and of course all of the non-violent drug offenders will stay locked up.

[rhett o rick]

14. He doesn't give a shit about people like Duke Cunningham. nm

[Phred42]

8. This will be the largest mass pardoning in the History of this country

Bush HAS to. There are too many low level types that know where some bodies are buried and are vulnerable to prosecution.

Of course you are assuming that Bush will leave office

[Fovea]

9. How many Bush Pioneers are there?

And how many more would there be if an indulgence came with it?

[jaysunb]

10. Everyone that worked in the admin. except

Scotty
Richard Clark ( who doesn't need it )
Colin Powell ( Cheney says, no.)
and two or three more "backstabbers."

[Auggie]

11. He should start now. It's a long list.

[kestrel91316]

12. More like 8700. We will never know. They will be classified.

"Secret pardons" - another Bush innovation.

[Bobbieo]

13. I wish BUT I bet Leonard Peltier will not be one of them that Bush pardons.

[kestrel91316]

23. Not a snowball's chance in hell of Bush pardoning Peltier. Less than zero.

[4lbs]

16. He'll also pardon everyone involved in helping him steal two elections.

n/t

[rhett o rick]

18. He will pardon only his cronies. The rest are fodder. nm

[Dying Eagle]

17. IDK.....

How many Republicans are there. We all know too well that every one of them low lifes has broken a law or 2 or 10 or 100!!!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Well with a signing order, he will first pardon himself! Count on that!

[illuminaughty]

20. 666 the number on the back of his head

[dysfunctional press]

21. 3. himself, cheney, and turd-blossom.

everyone else can suck on it.

[rhett o rick]

22. I'd add Rummy, Berty, and Miers. nm
