Remember Karla Faye Tucker? When Bush was Texas Governor, she asked for her death sentence to be commuted. He ridiculed her by impersonating her sobbing, "Please don't kill me! Oh, God, please don't kill me!"

There's no surprise here at all. There was noting in it for Bush by commuting Karla Fay's sentence. But Bush and Cheney are getting plenty out of commuting Scooter's jail time: Bush hopes it will keep him and Cheney out of jail.

This proves that Bush and Cheney are crooks with something to hide which would send THEM to prison.

When ole Scooter lost his appeal today and was set to go to jail immediately, he sent a message to Bush which said, "On my first day in jail, I'm going to squeel and you and ole Dick will be screwed. Better do something fast."

So, Bush did.

Scooter won't pay his fine. His Repugnant buddies have already raised the money for that. Ole Scooter will just take a vacation until January 2009 when Bush will pardon him on his last day so Scooter will get back his law license and will have lost nothing.

Sweet life if you're a Repugnant crook, isn't it?
