Bush's Gang Of 14: His Pardon List..

I Won't Say The First Thought That Came to Mind..

No no, George, that's a kitten, not an ear of corn on the cob!! With just a few weeks remaining until his term is over, George W. Bush does seem a bit more at ease, and relieved that he's done being President. They pack up their stuff, do a few appearances, get ready for the new President - oh, I almost forgot. They issue pardons.

While Bush is no different than most Presidents, he has issued nearly half as many pardons as Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan. Just like he was stingy with the vetoes, Bush has been stingy with the pardons too...

Dubya issued 14 pardons and two commutations this week - and none of them are very dubious or noteworthy. A couple violations of Federal Wildlife Protection laws, Food Stamps, and a couple drug violations. There was one of them from South Carolina - Carey Hice from Travelers Rest, who was convicted of tax evasion. Welcome home, Carey. You got pardoned just like the Thanksgiving Day turkey !! Enjoy Christmas at home, and make sure you report all that income next time....

I have no idea how these guys got pardoned, but I imagine the GOP got some pretty hefty donations from somewhere. Congrats to today's winners, and stay clean from now on, you lucky bastards !!
