Kristol turns on Bush.

“Will Bush pardon Libby?” Weekly Standard editor William Kristol asks. “Apparently not — even if it means a man who worked closely with him and sought tirelessly to do what was right for the country goes to prison. … So much for loyalty, or decency, or courage. For President Bush, loyalty is apparently a one-way street; decency is something he’s for as long as he doesn’t have to take any risks in its behalf; and courage–well, that’s nowhere to be seen. Many of us used to respect President Bush. Can one respect him still?”

UPDATE: The Washington Post: “In the White House, Pardon Is A Topic Too Sensitive to Mention.”

The prospect of a pardon has become so sensitive inside the West Wing that top aides have been kept out of the loop, and even Bush friends have been told not to bring it up with the president. In any debate, officials expect Vice President Cheney to favor a pardon, while other aides worry about the political consequences of stepping into a case that stems from the origins of the Iraq war and renewing questions about the truthfulness of the Bush administration.

2. Kristol has all this concern over Scooter, and not a bit of concern

for the soldiers who have been killed over their lies. Kristol should be his cell mate.

3. Kristol belongs in the Hague along with the rest of the * admin.

There is a special place in Hell reserved for Bill Kristol. This POS has been feeding the neocon agenda forever, and remains on the sidelines. He tries to keep his hands clean, but they are stained with the shit that they used for ink to write thier PNAC manifesto.

4. Kristol is slinging pig shit. As always he's trying to rally the NeoCons

5. Jackals every one!

No honor among such murderers liars and thieves.

6. Kristol is a piece of shit

I wouldn't cross the street to spit on him if he was on fire. I would however happily piss on his grave whenever the time comes.

7. Billy now knows that he too, could sit in jail

until a pardon comes around. He is thinking only of himself and the PNAC dips*its who have destroyed this country.

8. Mammon is their god.

Let it eat them.

9. Funny, I Didn't Notice Kristol's Name Among The Letter Writers

A neo-con having been conned. Priceless.

11. Oh my shining stars and beamers

How the mighty have fallen...

13. "Scooter Who?"

The pundits are all saying GWB will pardon Libby after the '08 elections. By then, GWB won't even remember who Libby is. The King of Short Attention Spania and his memoryless minions will lose Scooter down the oubliette of history about 15 minutes from now.

14. "For Bush, loyalty is apparently a one-way street."

You're first learning this now, Billy? Gee, what a quick learner you are. :eyes:

[Canuckistanian]

19. That was my reaction as well

If ANYONE ever disses the boy-king, the attack dogs are let loose on them.

Never mind the years of service, complicity in criminal activities or dirty work done at great personal risk.

You're always one sound bite away from oblivion if you work for Shrub.

15. Parallel Universe

Kristol really does live in a parallel Universe, complete with an Opposite Day values system, where betraying your country by outing a covert CIA agent is somehow a patriotic, noble exercise.

16. "sought tirelessly to do what was right for the country " ??? Oh Please.

In whose fantasy? NeoCon thug.

17. Hey! Billy boy!!! Your hands aren't just dirty, they are drenched with blood!

You are no better than the CIC you criticize. ",...loyalty, or decency, or courage"? Like you hold ANY of those characteristics? You freakin' lied out your arse, just like the rest of them, in order to betray and defraud the American people. You are a criminal. You are a traitor.
