"This decision to commute the sentence of a man who compromised our national security cements the legacy of an Administration characterized by a politics of cynicism and division, one that has consistently placed itself and its ideology above the law. This is exactly the kind of politics we must change so we can begin restoring the American people's faith in a government that puts the country's progress ahead of the bitter partisanship of recent years."Surely this indignant tirade from the Barack Obama camp refers to Bill Clinton's on camera perjury, Sandy Berger's theft of top secret documents, and Clinton's last minute pardons of Marc Rich and several cocaine dealers. Surely it does. What? You're kidding!
Update: Nothing so far from Senator Clinton. Or her husband. Or her brother.
