Pardon Me! Is Bush Considering Pardoning His Administration? Foolocracy: Government by fools, silliness and unintelligent people

"Widespread pardons have been done in the past. George Washington pardoned the conspirators of the Whiskey Rebellion. Andrew Johnson pardoned Confederate soldiers. Jimmy Carter pardoned Vietnam War draft dodgers.

George Bush just might pardon his administration. His excuse would be these people were carrying out official policies in a time of war when excesses occur, but should be forgiven.

The criticism would be enormous, but what does Bush have to lose? He is at the end of his political career. His approval ratings cannot drop much lower. The criteria that history will judge him by has already been set. With that in mind, the scenario exists for Bush to issue a blanket pardon."
