How can this be anything but a win-win situation for the Democrats? If Bush refuses to rule out a pardon he comes off looking like the weasel that he is. If he does agree to rule out a pardon then we'll have the tasty prospect of Scooter's trial (and we'll hear all about how the White House is inhabited by a whole pack of weasels). And if Bush agrees to rule out a pardon and then reneges, then maybe even his die-hard supporters and the MSM will stop making excuses and looking the other way. The only dark cloud? Scooter doesn't get a pardon but he decides to fall on his sword (plead guilty)like a good little weasel, thereby depriving us all of opportunity to see Dick Cheney take the witness stand.
