He needs to pardon those two border guards that shot the drug smuggler.

Clinton's pardons--a racket he ran with his brother and brothers-in-law--are still making news. Hilary Clinton's brother, Anthony, is currently being sued for not repaying a large loan from people Clinton pardoned:

After Junior's pardon I hoped that Robert Mitchum would be pardoned.

I think it was Gerald Ford who pardoned Robert E. Lee...

Just guessing, but I don't think you'll find any big Bush campaign donors on that list. Unlike his predecessor.

...Bill Clinton issued 457 in eight years in office...

And weren't just about all of them on his last day?

I don't know that much about the case, but from what I heard about it, the paralyzed man in FL who had too much painkiller in his possession. They arrested him for "trafficking" and he is doing 20 yrs or so in jail.

You could be right. But it seems like it was JC, but then again, that was 30 someodd years ago.

all 99 of these Pardons are for crimes committed years ago and all of them are not repeat offenders

Well, we can look at the list above and determine that you were misled. One of the moonshiners got a pardon for multiple convictions. That shows that he was a repeat offender.

I suppose one could argue as to whether less than 10 years is sufficient to show a change of charecter. (The most recent conviction I noticed was from 1997 - less than 4 years before Bush took office.)

That is not the case I refer to. The guy that got shot in this case was caught with a van full of marijuana and he made it back into Mexico but was shot in the butt as he fled on foot.

The first person that came to mind when I saw the liquor law violations was Junior Johnson.
