Bush clemency really out of character

As we listen to all the blather justifying Bush's act to keep Libby out of prison, just ask yourself if this is in character with what we know about Bush. Digby describes his background in Pardons and clemency.

When someone does something this far out of character he really has the wind up about the case. Bush doesn't think about the far future, and he doesn't empathize with people he doesn't know personally - if then. This is about right now, and it is very personal. this is about Bush using his Pardon power to stay out of prison or at least avoid trial himself.
