Bush puts loyalty to friends above the law

The president's polling numbers have been in the toilet for months now, with no recovery in site. His hopes of passing an immigration bill went up in smoke, so what did he have to lose in commuting the prison sentence of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby? Nothing.

Who cares that Libby had the benefit of a jury of citizens, who weighed all the evidence and listened to all the testimony and found him guilty of perjury and obstructing justice? What does it matter than a federal appeals panel ruled that Libby could not delay his prison term and would likely have to report soon? Clearly, none of that matters to George Bush -- who puts loyalty to his friends above the law.

The most corrupt administration in history has yet another stain -- and has provided even more proof that Joe Wilson was correct!

More than 3,000 Americans, and countless Iraqi civilians, have died in a war that should never had started. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost limbs, or suffered other serious physical or emotional injuries -- and for what? So that Bush & Co. could line the pockets of their friends -- and by extension, themselves.

Why are these people allowed to be above the law?
