WASHINGTON — The White House on Thursday made fun of former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, for criticizing President Bush's decision to erase the prison sentence of former aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
"I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it," presidential spokesman Tony Snow said.
Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has scheduled hearings on Bush's commutation of Libby's 2 1/2-year sentence.
"Well, fine, knock himself out," Snow said of Conyers. "I mean, perfectly happy. And while he's at it, why doesn't he look at January 20th, 2001?"
Yep. Michigan moombat Conyers is doing what loons do best. Schedule hearings. Presidential pardons and commutations are part of our system of law, and the even more hilarious than Conny-Boy bitching is listening to the Clinton's whinging about pardons. This could turn out to be an enormous misstep for Hillary if she continues to bring mention of the pardon system. Remember; this was our co-President not that long ago, one who gave new meaning to the old people in glass houses adage.
