... when Ford pardoned Nixon, it was considered to be 'for the good of the nation' in terms of how wrenching the villifying of a former president would have been for the country.

Bush has no such 'out' with pardoning ANYONE (except Cheney, who would have to resign anyway). The removal and/or imprisonment of Rove, Libby et al, would not affect the governance of the country the way putting a former Pres on trial would have.

This is what I keep wonderin' ...

Bush lost his 'Decisive leader keeping Americans safe' card in the aftermath of Katrina.
He lost his 'The economy is turning the corner' gambit eons ago, and 'We're making progress in Iraq' is falling on deaf ears.

And now we hear he's busy 'strategerizing' how to distance himself from the Orange Jumpsuit Crowd that will include his 'most trusted and loyal advisors' -- not to mention dumping Poor Harriet, the star-crossed lover. How will the RWers take to the notion of a Prez who used to wear that 'Loyal to His Friends and Supporters' banner?

What does this guy have left? He certainly can't vie for the 'Best Attendance Record' presidency.

Too bad that 'I need to go to the bathroom' note surfaced -- he might have had a shot at Best Pensmanship.

But as my husband often says, "He is still the BEST president the Supreme Court ever Selected." I guess we can't take that away from him!!!!!!!!!!!
