Democratic Senator Reid Says "You better not pardon Libby or others!"

How funny is that Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid saying President Bush should not try and pardon any Administration aides if they get convicted as a result of the Plame/Wilson leak investigation. I'm adding Wilson to the Plame investigation because he essentially outed his own wife in Vanity Fair magazine. You simply do not do that if you believe your own wife is still a CIA operative, as Wilson have claimed, and go ahead and pose yourselves in a nationally recognized magazine.

Now, didn't Harry Reid forget about President Clinton's last hour 140 presidential pardons? From Foxnews report,

WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Sunday that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should apologize for the actions of their aides in the CIA leak case.

Reid, of Nevada, also said Bush should pledge not to pardon any aides convicted as a result of the investigation into the disclosure of CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity.

Senator Reid should stick it up his wazoo for making a suggestion like that in his attempt to still paint a picture of guilt among the aides. Again, kiddies, for once get it in your noggin, it is too early to discuss a presidential pardon because no one has been convicted in the investigation!

Duh.

And, oh, this has nothing to do with the Iraq war. Get that one straight, too. I know Liberals are desperate for some kind of a indictment/conviction. But this is beyond ludicrousness. It ranks right up there with all of Howard Dean's gaffes.
