On the pardon front, President Bush slinks from office by providing the half-measure of a commutation for border agents Ramos and Compean, but apparently will leave intact the commutation of Scooter Libby rather than provide the full pardon that Libby so clearly merits. To quote the article, “Bush technically has until noon on Tuesday when President-elect Barack Obama is sworn into office to exercise his executive pardon authority, but presidential advisers said no more were forthcoming.”
Words fail.
