    Proceed With Caution -- Convict Bush, Cheney and the Whole #(*&$ Lot

    I am all for the indictment and subsequent conviction of Bush, Cheney and the whole fucking lot. But proceed carefully! Bush has the power of the pardon.

    I'd like to point out that you can't be PARDONED unless you've first been CONVICTED.

    So wait until he's out of office and far, far away from the White House before you go pick him up and send his ass to Gitmo.
