Sen. Schumer Furious With Bush Over Libby

New York Sen. Charles Schumer late Monday expressed angry opposition to President George W. Bush's commutation of 'Scooter' Libby's prison sentence.

Libby was convicted in March of lying and obstructing an investigation into who revealed the identity of a CIA officer, Valerie Plame, whose husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had criticized the Iraq war.

"I’m outraged,” blasts Schumer in a flurry of e-mails being shotgunned across the nation by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

Schumer urges recipients to sign a sharp petition directed to President Bush:

"George Bush has commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby and wiped away two and a half years of prison time with the stroke of his pen. President Bush is willfully ignoring Libby’s felony conviction, ignoring the jury’s guilty verdict, and ignoring the rule of law. Our nation deserves better.

"Tell George Bush: "I’m appalled by your actions."

Schumer adds, "We need to show Bush his actions just aren’t acceptable.”

"We expect more from our president,” laments the senator. "We expect honor and integrity, we expect moral leadership. We expect our president and his staff to be held to a higher standard.”

Schumer concludes, "It’s at times like these that I realize just how important a strong Democratic Senate is to our nation. Democrats are fighting the Republican’s abuse of power but we can’t do it without your help.”

The DSCC reminds recipients that it is picking up the tab for the petition and the communications and that no candidate or candidate’s committee has authorized the petition.

Unlike those Clinton pardons, eh Chuckie? But then you were silent as a church mouse. Spare us the political hysterics.

Jay Inslee was on the news this morning saying that “Congress isn’t finished with Libby.” They’re going make him testify at one of their dog and pony shows to get him to spill his guts on Cheney. Cracked me up.

"We expect more from our president,” laments the senator. "We expect honor and integrity, we expect moral leadership. We expect our president and his staff to be held to a higher standard.”

I'm guessing that means the senior senator from New York will not be voting fot the junior senator from New York for president.

I find this whole thing sooooooo funny. It’s so easy to pull their chains.

I hope they keep it up so people who have common sense will see what hypocrites the idiot demoncrats are.

The only people who are dumb enough not to see their hypocrisy are their STUPID VOTERS.

I hope ol' Chuck-for-brains stays in front of the cameras and keeps on yappin' and whining...

I hope he makes America throw-up into dry heaves...

So we can all see how arrogant and pompous the Dims really are...

The more true colors fly...
The more folks will see them for what they are...

And toss 'em all out on their ear...
