The last gasp of GW

[synapsetx]

Ok, so during the last days of Clinton he pardoned lots of folks like Mark Rich and such.

Who will GW pardon?

Scooter and Stevens?
Himself and Cheney?
Fox News?

What executive orders will he sign?

How many emails will suddenly "go missing"?

Will the shredders be working on overtime?


Curious for your thoughts...

I'd imagine a lot of gameboy playing and sharpening his brush-clearing skills.

 

[XZeroII]

Maybe he will sign an executive order saying that black people can't be president...

 

[nakedfrog]

Pardons and more vacation?

 

[techs]

Seriously, what if the ONLY thing he gets right in his 8 years as President is screwing it up for the next guy?

Go back to drinking.

I think its criminal that the president can pardon people who are criminals.

You mean the way Clinton tried to do to him?

I hope Bush pisses on the door into the Oval Office after the bullshit treatment that he got in Jan 01.

No point in pardoning those who ain't.

Clinton left Bush a sound economy, functioning government, and budget on track to being balanced. Bush fuuked it all up, every last bit of it.

Well I know he's been trying to tie the hands of the next pres on Iraq with the whole status of forces agreement - I can see that being a nightmare.

All Presidents, on both sides of the aisle, have this enormous power, and they all use it.


One thing to note is that a Pardon can only be effected with an Admission of Guilt.

Clinton had nothing to do with the way Bush was received 8 years ago. When the supreme court gave Bush the white house, it left most people feeling pretty pessimistic about him, thus the cool reception.

I guess you missed the 30,000 pages of executive orders governing everything from oil leases to labor regulations to 'preserving' national landmarks, all enacted in Dec 00 - Jan. 01, none of which had any reasonable purpose (or he would have enacted them in the previous 7 years). He topped Carter's disgraceful record of 26,000 pages.

Poppy was kind enough to disappear after Nov. 92 and shut his mouth during the Clinton years.

Clinton engaged in 2 months of sore loser politics. Carter's done it for 8 years.

Payback.

PSHAW!

Bush did not have a Plurality. The classic Flaw in the Electoral College.

 

[zinfamous]

He'll push the button.

either for shits, or b/c it's big and red and he just can't resist anymore.

Actually, if you bothered to follow up, many of the supposed things the Bushies did to the incoming President were not true. For example the oft repeated story of the Clinton staffers switching the letters on the keyboards was not true.

btw does the next Vice President get to keep Cheney's man sized safe?

And don't forget the conversation Clinton had with Bush:

Clinton: Keep your eye on this bin Laden guy. We've had our men on him and he's up to something.
Bush: you got it there, Bubba. ....er, you did say Sadaam, right?
Clinton: bin Laden
Bush: right, can't wait to get rid of that Sadaam!
Clinton: .....

well, that's how Clinton tells it.

Err, coherence? The 'Bushies' haven't done anything to any incoming President yet.

Here's an article about crap from December 2000. That doesn't even count January 01.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/f...=&spon=&pagewanted=all

His days as president are dwindling. But over the past few weeks he has proved intent on using the powers of his office right to the end, focusing attention on his agenda and himself, buffing his record for the history books and infuriating his enemies one last time.

On one day he announced new regulations to limit emissions from diesel-powered trucks and buses. On another he imposed new restrictions on the release of medical information by doctors and hospitals.

He has issued rules that would bar federal agencies from giving contracts to companies with a record of breaking labor, environmental or other laws, and set out new requirements for workplace health and safety. Early next month he is expected to make good on a promise to put at least 40 million acres of federal land off limits for road building and other development.

Never mind his decision to put on the presidential limousines new license plates that strike a blow on behalf of efforts to grant statehood to the District of Columbia by featuring the phrase, ''Taxation Without Representation.''


I don't know about keyboards and w's and the nature/details of the stunts that were pulled. It doesn't matter.

What Clinton was thinking "How can this mental moron actually be President? He's gonna screw things up big time"

i hope you aren't talking about the 'w' keys being removed from whitehouse keyboards, because that it turns out was faked by a couple bush staffers.

Not referring to pranks, no. Read the other 2 posts.

Personally, I hope he orders the drilling on ANWR on November 5th.
