The Jawas have sorted through the huge list of Clinton pardons and came up with a few very interesting ones. If Bush is soft, then what the heck is Clinton?

Jack L. Williams D. Dist. Col. 1998 Making false statements to federal agents (two counts), 18 U.S.C. § 1001

My response wouldn’t be appropriate for a blog that is viewed by young and old alike
Hehe, indeed
Try not to laugh too hard at this one:
Hillary distinguishes between Libby, Clinton Era Pardons
Absolutely incredible. What planet does she live on? I’d like to visit there someday.
LOL … thanks for the tip, NC – I just used it in my latest post on the predictable reactions from the left to Bush’s decison on Libby’s sentence.
