Pardon Countdown. What's up with the BushCo pardons? |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 11:58 AM by bertman
Today's a federal holiday so the Bush JD isn't working. Right? Does this mean they will not let us know about any last-minute pardons until Wednesday?
Inquiring minds want to know.

1. They'll announce them late... |
|
...and make them noisy, controversial, newsy.
Anything to rain on the Democrats' big day.
We're dealing with people who'd start a war to dominate the media cycle.

2. I'm sure the people working on pardons ARE working today... |
|
Are we expecting the announcements tonight or tomorrow morning?

4. There are always people working at DOJ 24/7 |
|
A holiday just means most civil service workers aren't there.

5. I tend to agree with the last-minute "Stop the Presses" meme. Hell, Fox will probably |

preempt the Inauguration ceremony to let the talking headaches petulantly parse the pardons. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
