Bush--Like Father, Like Son

George Bush's commuting of Scooter Libby's prison sentence brings to mind his father's pardon of Casper Weinberger, who would have been questioned about his and other's role in the Iran-Contra scandal. Casper Weinberger had conveniently stashed his White House meeting notes in the Library of Congress to avoid having to testify about them. The Bush's are adroit at covering their tracks and the commuting of Libby's sentence not only served to keep Libby out of prison but also squelches any testimony, which would bring out possible skulduggery by members in the White House. The Republicans and Conservatives continue to believe that they are blessed by God or whoever and above lawful, ethical, and moral constraints.
