(2009-01-19) Last Bush Pardons

It's the last chance for George W Bush to issue Presidential Pardon-s.

Alberto Gonzales and Scooter Libby are getting good odds.

Mike Milken is spending lots of money to try and get his.

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has asked President Bush to pardon Ted Stevens.

Update: he pardoned a couple Border Patrol guards, but nothing else. Nice.

Ironically, Eric Holder's appointment to Attorney General is being held up based on him going along with Bill Clinton's pardons of Marc Rich and the FALN group. Which only reminds me of why Hillary Clinton should not have been given anything more senior than dog-catcher....
