Remember the outcry over the Clinton pardons?

Funny how you didn't read about these pardons by George W. Bush, accomplished while the media were otherwise occupied -- with the Tom DeLay indictments:

• Gene Armand Bridger, Elkhart, Ind. – Conspiracy to commit mail fraud, and mail fraud
  
• Cathryn Iline Clasen-Gage, Rockwall, Texas – Misprision of a felony;
  
• Thomas Kimble Collinsworth, Buckner, Ark. – Receipt of a stolen motor vehicle that had been transported in interstate commerce;
  
• Morris F. Cranmer, Jr., Little Rock, Ark – Making materially false statements to a federally-insured institution
  
• Rusty Lawrence Elliott, Mount Pleasant, Tenn. – Making counterfeit Federal Reserve notes
  
• Adam Wade Graham, Salt Lake City, Utah – Conspiracy to deliver 10 or more grams of LSD
  
• Rufus Edward Harris, Canon, Ga. – Possession and selling of tax-unpaid whiskey
  
• Jesse Ray Harvey, Scarbro, W.Va – Property damage by use of explosives and destruction of an energy facility [This is the kind of guy Bush probably hung out with during his drunk years...I mean his PREVIOUS drunk years]
  
• Larry Paul Lenius, Moorhead, Minn – Conspiracy to distribute cocaine
  
• Larry Lee Lopez, Bokeelia, Fla – Conspiracy to import marijuana
  
• Bobbie Archie Maxwell – Mailing a threatening letter [You mean like an anthrax letter? Just askin' is all...]
  
• Denise Bitters Mendelkow – Embezzlement by a bank employee
  
• Michael John Pozorski – Unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm
  
• Mark Lewis Weber, Sherwood, Ark. – Selling Quaalude tablets (one specification), selling, using, and possessing marijuana (three specifications)
  

That's an awful lot of drug pardons from a president whose FBI has decided to focus more efforts on the so-called War On Drugs, don'tcha think?

My goodness, where is the Republican respect for the rule of law?
