Gallup Poll on Libby pardon

Now that some time has passed since President Bush's decision to pardon I. Lewis "Scotter" Libby, polls are beginning to reveal how the move has affected President Bush's political standing.

This will come as not surprise to most, but the Libby sentence commutation has won him no favors with the American electorate. But, I'm sure this news is not keeping the president up at night. After all, clearly Bush is responsible to no one; he has already fixed won the last election he will ever run in, the 2004 presidential election, and clearly Congress is in no mood to do anything about his willful disregard for the laws in our nation.

Yes, I'm aware that the president broke no law in the Libby pardon itself - he has every right to pardon whomever he likes under the Constitution, but Libby, and almost certainly Dick Cheney and Karl Rove participated in the outing of Valerie Plame, and that is a violation of the law.

But, like so many other crimes committed on his watch, those will go unpunished, too.

Thanks for restoring Honor and Integrity to the White House like you promised you would in 2000, Mr. President.
