I know I'm coming in late on this, but if King George pardoned I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby because he has nothing left to lose, and when he actually did have something to lose, he started and unprovoked war thereby destabilizing the Middle East for years to come, flouted the constitution publicly through signing statements and privately through secret, extra-court spying programs (and only God knows what else), politicized every branch of government that was heretofore unpoliticized, including the judiciary, gutted environmental legislation, made sex education programs here and abroad nearly worthless by hinging funding on ridiculous abstinence propaganda, and fucked education sideways with No Child Left Behind, well then it stands to reason that the next two years are going to be absolutely terrifying.
