C'mon, Dick- get in the game! Poor Cheney is apparently outraged that Dubya didn't pardon Scooter Libby, and is prone, over the last couple of weeks, to rants and raves about it.
Look, it's very simple, but it does highlight the different view of the world between Dubya and his Veep.
Dick Cheney thinks he's invincible, thinks that no matter what he does, any prosecution of him will eventually go before his 5 cronies on the Supreme Court. Consequently, he has done whatever he wanted for 8 years.
Dubya, however, is not the ideologue Dick is, he has failed at everything he has tried, and is an opportunist. Will Ferrell overshot the mark, but not by much.
It's quite simple: Dubya realizes that pardoning Scooter Libby would allow him to subsequently talk or testify about the whole thing without restraint- and George can't have THAT happen. Simply commuting his sentence has kept him out of prison, but kept his tongue tied at the same time.
On the very day that, finally, Speaker Pelosi and others have started talking about prosecutions, Dick Cheney is still railing about Libby being raped by Dubya.
We have known for 8 years that they both were zealous idiots, but we always thought Dick was smarter than George.
Guess not...
