    Default The White House shoots back

    I'm lovin Tony Snow.


    White House criticizes Clintons on Libby By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent
    Thu Jul 5, 6:02 PM ET

    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.
    In his commutation decision, Bush left a $250,000 fine. Libby paid the fine on Thursday.

    Libby's friends and supporters have raised more than $5 million to cover legal fees and were continuing to raise money but Libby paid the fine himself, according to someone close to the fund who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the account are private. The cashiers check filed with the court was issued in Libby's name.

    Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has scheduled hearings Wednesday 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?"

    In the closing hours of his presidency, Clinton pardoned 140 people, including fugitive financier Marc Rich.

    We all know both Clinton's are hipocrits along with all Democrats. What a shock that they are going to have hearings, do you honestly think President Bush is worried? He has never backed down from the Democrats and he wont start now. I just hope that on the day the hearings are to start that he gives Libby a full pardon just to give the committee members a big

    Contrary to your statements, the White House didnt do anything to attack the Clintons on pardons until after Bill made his statements on it.

    However, it still amazes me how Bill Clinton can pardon convicted terrorists and others for money, and President Bush is somehow the bad guy for commuting the unreasonable sentence for an innocent man.

    Amazing.

    I don't have to pull shit out of my ass as you intimate, lil' nuck. I'm a fiber nut from the '80's. And what's this "once again" bullshit. Care to expound on that lil' statement? You don't know your nasty ass from shinola, do you?
