Here's the acting president George W. Bush pardoning a turkey. You know, a few weeks before he pardons Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Miers and more.
George W. Bush, as we've said for years, and now quite obviously, is the Worst President in the History of the United States. He is a sad and tragic figure in the nation's history, and may go down as the most destructive, treasonous and hated American of all time.
So here he is, pardoning the turkey. Ha ha. But it won't be ha ha when he pardons his corrupt cabal. And if he does that dastardly deed, the message that should be sent now to George W. Bush is this:
There will be no pardon for you sir.

Bush will resign a day before his term expires, so Cheney can become president and pardon him. You know these guys are good, why would they miss this trick? And what's the downside - do you think he's worried about his legacy (ROFL) or the reputation of his party?
Still, Bush has half the number of pardons than Clinton.
Keeferooni,
As much fun as it was to blame Bush for ‘everything’
Our beloved Mr. Obama will likely be the biggest f*ck up this country has ever experienced.
The next 4 years will be hard on many Americans but will also be an incredible opportunity for many.
First?
Good opportunity to ask you for something unrelated to the topic:

Bush will WISH he was this Thanksgiving turkey and only had the head cut off...
History will be accurate, and BRUTAL to this senile dunce.

Bush is just one turkey out of the entire gaggle of turkeys in Washington. He might be one of the biggest turkeys but never mind - Bush and the other turkeys draped in red will be taken out for the slaughter on January 20th only to be replaced by a whole gaggle of fresh and not so fresh turkeys draped in blue.
Gobble.. gobble.. gobble!!
Speaking of turkeys in Washington, here is Jim Rogers latest (lengthy) interview on Bloomberg. The last thing he says in the interview is "those turkeys in Washington".
Freaking classic man!!

A Thanksgiving poem dedicated to George Bush:
The turkey is a stupid bird,
and though this fact is true,
the turkey is a genius
when he’s compared to you!
Looks like this turkey pardoning is just the first of a whole series of turkey pardoning, based on the title of this entry...
Pardons be damned...
Hopefully, the souls of all the innocent men, women and children killed/murdered in the fraudulent 'war on terror' will get to inflict some vengence before these bastards go through the gates of hell.
He won't issue any pardons for his staff, or receive one for himself. While he was a bad POTUS, he can't/won't actually be arrested. There isn't enough willpower, it just isn't going to happen.
I would focus my energy more on the people who actively did the torture- and enjoyed it. They got a slap on the wrists.
A group of turkeys is called a rafter, although a gang is also an acceptable name. (Wiki Answers).
(Gaggle is geese).
We have to know our fouls.

Thanks for the correction. I think "gang of turkeys" is most applicable in this case.
Fowls - not fouls. Although in this case, you're right.
How quickly you seem to forget the unbelievable pardons Bill Clinton did right before he left office-Wonder how much payola he got for those?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Bush is coming back as a turkey in his next life.
Watch this and then enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner!

I find it very disturbing that you didn't publish my last comment about how much payola Bill Clinton received from the pardons he did. How do you pick and choose what you publish on your blog?
You Cannot Pardon a Crime You Authorized

Statement from the Steering Committee for the Prosecution for War Crimes of President Bush and His Subordinates
Never before has a president pardoned himself or his subordinates for crimes he authorized. The closest thing to this in U.S. history thus far has been Bush's commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence. Bush is widely expected to follow that commutation with a pardon. Not only did Libby work for the White House, but he was convicted of obstruction of justice in an investigation that was headed to the president. Evidence introduced in the trial, including a hand-written note by the vice president, implicated Bush, and former press secretary Scott McClellan has since testified that Bush authorized the exposure of an undercover agent, that being the crime that was under investigation.
There are widespread concerns that Bush might pardon other subordinates for various other crimes that he authorized, potentially including torture, warrantless spying, a variety of war crimes, taking the nation to war on fraudulent evidence, and the abuses of the politicized Justice Department. Voices in the media advising Bush to issue such pardons include: Stuart Taylor Jr. (Newsweek 7/12/08) and Alan Dershowitz (Wall St Journal 9/12/08), while many additional voices have urged Obama to commit to not prosecuting.
The idea that the pardon power constitutionally includes such pardons ignores a thousand year tradition in which no man can sit in judgment of himself, and the fact that James Madison and George Mason argued that the reason we needed the impeachment power was that a president might some day try to pardon someone for a crime that he himself was involved in. The problem is not preemptive pardons of people not yet tried and convicted. The problem is not blanket pardons of unnamed masses of people. Both of those types of pardons have been issued in the past and have their appropriate place. The problem is the complete elimination of any semblance of the rule of law if Bush pardons his subordinates for crimes he instructed or authorized them to commit.
If Bush attempts this, here are possible responses:
1. Immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney and various pardonees, even if they are out of office. (Here are arguments for the permissibility of such impeachments: http://afterdowningstreet.org/node/37834 )
2. Overturning of the pardons by the new president or by Congress, as Bush's lawyers told him he could do to Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich, which was a far more minor abuse of the pardon power.
3. Legislation banning self-pardons and pardons of crimes authorized by the president.
4. A Constitutional Amendment banning self-pardons and pardons of crimes authorized by the president.
5. Refusal by the courts to honor the supposed pardons.
6. Prosecution of Bush, Cheney, and their subordinates for their crimes.
With thanks to all who have aided over the past millennia in the establishment of the rule of law.
Don't forget Cheney's fall guy, Scooter Libby. When they outed that undercover agent that was treason. Hang em all high.

That will NEVER happen.
