one of the most fantastic details about the scooter libby commutation has to do with one of clinton’s pardons.
before leaving office bill clinton pardoned marc rich.
marc rich had been found guilty of tax evasion and other crimes.
and when he was pardoned by bill clinton the right-wing were very upset that bill clinton would pardon an indicted criminal.
so the fantastic irony in all of this is that scooter libby was marc rich’s lawyer.
isn’t that awesome?
scooter libby, the darling of the gop, was the lawyer for marc rich, a criminal pardoned by bill clinton.
nope, there’s nothing at all incestuous about the goings on in d.c, not at all.
it may seem petty, but watching the bush administration and the gop continue to fall apart is really, really entertaining, and it makes for great tragi-comic public farce/theater.
