Clinton pardon scandal

Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 06:34:43 AM PDT

Didn't see this posted yet.

UPDATE: Hillary knew her day of reckoning was fast arriving.
Americablogand Bob Johnson (here at DKos) already made it clear.

Forget Hillary being at the White House at the same time as Monica, here's the real scandal (via ABC):

Hillary Clinton's Scooter Libby Problem

Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 12:03:16 PM PDT

"Four years into the Iraq war, Americans are still living with the consequences of this White House's efforts to quell dissent. This commutation sends the clear signal that in this Administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice."

Statement of Senator Hillary Clinton on President Bush's commutation of the prison term for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

The Scooter Libby commutation is a microcosm of the Culture of Corruption, a key issue in the Democratic party's takeover of Congress in 2006.  It shows the disregard for judicial norms, the corruption, and the abuse of office that have come to characterize the Bush Era.

Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton is not a credible critic of this Culture of Corruption, and certainly not of this episode.#  

In 2008, we need someone with credibility on the issue of corruption and abuse of office if we are to take on St. John McCain, whose reputation for ethical behavior is overstated, but whose track record still outshines that of the Clintons.

The full vetting below the fold.
