Hi Kevin,

First, I don't have a lot of time this morning to respond to this as my schedule has been a bit crazy these last couple weeks. There is a rather huge issue with that article you posted starting with this:

"...especially when Libby's offense was so similar to Bill's own criminal conviction."

In fact, they are not at all similar. This is a Republican talking point and is a load of rubbish. Second, and also typical of a lot of these Right Wingnuts, we get the "Clinton did it" argument yet again. It is quite ridiculous to try to block our view of what has taken place in the Libby case by having the Clintons stand in front of him. Yeah, Bill Clinton was out of line with his pardons, nobody would question that, and he did commit perjury as well but it was after a long partisan witch hunt that they turned into a public lynching because they knew they had nothing on him in the case of Whitewater. In fact when Ken Starr released his report it did not even mention Whitewater but instead went after Clinton for having sex with Monica. It was about as big a joke as we've ever seen taxpayer money wasted on and was nothing but a bought and paid for smear campaign to get Bill Clinton.

To compare it to Libby is outrageous. I don't wish to defend the Clintons and I don't even think Hillary should be running for president. I'll try to post later about the Libby thing but don't fall for this Clinton smokescreen they are trying to use to confuse people and hide what happened. Bush, it turns out, will be granting Libby a full pardon at the end of his term and all of what has taken place I think I now understand.
