ReTHUGlican Wisdom – From Nixon The Creep To Bush/Cheney, The Crooks

Posted on 09 July 2007                                                                                                             Bookmark and Share

Sunday, November 18, 1973

Orlando, Fla, Nov. 17 — Declaring that “I am not a crook,” President Nixon vigorously defended his record in the Watergate case and said he had never profited from his public service.

“I have earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life I have never obstructed justice,” Mr. Nixon said.

“People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. I’ve earned everything I’ve got.”

Richard Milhous Nixon “THE CROOK” — On Thursday, August 8, 1974, announced his resignation as the 37th President of the United States.

After two years of bitter public debate over the Watergate scandal, President Nixon bowed to pressures from the public and leaders of his party to become the first President in American history to resign.

In a TV address on September 8, 1974 Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon.

Over 3 decades later — another Republican, George Bush is “Making Love” with OB GYN’s, and is in “Full Pardon Mode.”

George Bush has “commuted” [he will most likely be given a full pardon just before Bush leaves office in 2009] the 30 month sentence of a potential “IraqGate” squealer – Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

The action, announced just hours after a federal appeals court denied Mr. Libby’s request to allow him to remain free while his case is on appeal, spared Mr. Libby his prison term, but it “does not excuse him from stiff fines or probation.”

A full pardon is definitely in the works

Many people and politicians have assailed Bush for this action.

Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, a Democratic presidential candidate, said in a statement that the commutation of Mr. Libby’s sentence “cements the legacy of an administration characterized by a politics of cynicism and division, one that has consistently placed itself and its ideology above the law.”

The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi of California, said the decision showed Mr. Bush “condones criminal conduct.”

And the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, told The Associated Press: “Libby’s conviction was the one faint glimmer of accountability for White House efforts to manipulate intelligence and silence critics of the Iraq war. Now, even that small bit of justice has been undone.”
