Bush to Pardon Paris!

George Bush is rumored to be considering a package deal: Scooter AND Paris will be pardoned together. Sources within the Administration say, "The two cases share many essentials in terms of issues of equality before the law. It would simply be wrong to pardon one without doing both. And Bush, after all, is nothing if not a defender of the rule of law. He's the 'Defender'."

Original article: A question of timing

If Republicans had done better...

...Bush would not have reason to dismiss Rumsfeld. As it is, with the Dems taking over the oversight role, Rummy had to go. The prospect of his being grilled by the House Armed Services Committee is not in the Rove playbook. The new majority will now have to content itself with the confirmation hearings on Rummy's replacement.
