Angry Dick.

Sometimes Dick and Bush just don't get along (no matter how many beers you've had to make it work, but that's another story).

Ex Vice President Dick Cheney is telling sources that he was mad at George Bush for not giving Scooter Libby a full pardon after he was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in the Valerie Plame case in 2007.

The source told the New York Daily News that he is furious with Bush and feels that Libby deserved a full presidential pardon.

Libby's 30-month sentence was commuted after intense lobbying by Cheney in the last hours before Libby was to go to jail. Because of the commutation, Libby is still a convicted felon and can't practice law.

If he doesn't know he can't lie in court and get in the way of an investigation, maybe he shouldn't.

Fin.

And with that, Dubya has left the building.

As the saying goes, don't let the doorknob hit ya where the good Lord split ya, PEACE OUT!

Must-Ignore-TV

If you're done watching the interesting and informative things Charles posted a couple days ago, you can turn your TV on tonight and see another President. Tonight at 8 pm EST, George W Bush will appear on all the TV stations, just like that other guy did a few months ago. He will talk, for fifteen minutes or so, about . . . who knows. He'll probably just talk about what a great country America is and how the surge is working, for laughs. Then he'll go away for real this time.

George W Bush: A look back

Thanks to 23/6 for this. Truly the last eight years have had many shining moments.

George Bush learns the #1 rule for your set

For the last few months, it seemed as if George W Bush just wanted to get out of the White House and back to Crawford, where he wouldn't have to deal with any more people or problems and he could just forget he was ever president. That may still be the case, but we have learned that President Bush actually has thought on his legacy and his presidency, and he admits that he made some mistakes. No, he really said so.

``I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said,'' Bush said. He cited comments he made after the Sept. 11 attacks, when he said of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden: ``I want justice. There's an old poster out West that said, 'Wanted, dead or alive.'''

He also said he regretted telling Iraqi insurgents in 2003: ``There are some who feel like that the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on.''

Bush also listed the "Mission Accomplished" banner, saying that it "conveyed the wrong message" and that it was never meant to signal the end of the Iraq War. He didn't really elaborate on what it was meant to convey, but that's okay, at least he's sort of thinking about these things now. Maybe we will learn more in the book he plans to publish. If anyone's willing to actually purchase the rights to it.

George Bush: "George Bush is the world's biggest polluter"

President Bush had some well thought-out last words for his fellow world leaders at his final G8 summit. According to London's The Daily Telegraph, Bush told them "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter." He then proceeded to "punch the air while grinning wildly" before he left the room.

While this was likely intended as tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, it doesn't sound like that's how it was received.

One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: "Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America's record on pollution."

Hell, at least he's being honest now. That's a start, right?

Bush to Foreign Press: "Sorry y'all"

Not President Bush

President Bush told The Times of London that he has some regrets about taking a hardline unilateral approach to the Iraq War and hopes to leave his successor a more diplomatic situation with Iran.

Phrases such as “bring them on” or “dead or alive”, he said, “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”. He said that he found it very painful “to put youngsters in harm’s way”. He added: “I try to meet with as many of the families as I can. And I have an obligation to comfort and console as best as I possibly can. I also have an obligation to make sure that those lives were not lost in vain.”

In the same interview, he also expresses regrets over not signing the Kyoto Protocol (remember when people were mad about that?) and says he can now see why much of the world thought of him as “guy really anxious for war.”

I'm guessing with his approval rating hovering between 25-30% and this being his last year in office, Bush feels like he has to leave some kind of positive legacy. Like when Bill Clinton made it his mission to try and bring peace between Israelis and Palestinians in 2000 (as opposed to any of the other seven years he had been in office,) this is an example of a president scrambling at the last minute to do something future generations can look back on and remember him by.

But if he thinks an apology on his tone is going to make anyone think differently about his eight years in office, Bush is (yet again) sorely misguided.

Kucinich pulls out ray gun

(And I know "ray gun" doesn't work here, but I can't say he pulled out his bush.)

Ohio Representative and joke candidate for President Dennis Kucinich introduced articles to impeach President Bush on the floor of the House yesterday. While he brings up many valid points, it seems like he's a day late and a dollar short with this. Bush has less than a year left in office. Even if he were to be impeached by the House and then thrown out of office by the Senate, that would just leave a few months of Dick Cheney as a lame duck president, with either Barack Obama or John McCain taking over for a full term shortly after.

But judge for yourself. Here are two clips of Kucinich introducing the articles from CSPAN.
