Bush pardons self for war crimes?

Bush attempting to pardon himself for war crimes. Yes, it's a single-link YouTube post. Yes, it's about politics. Yes, it probably won't wendell. And yes, I'm suffering outrage fatigue.

Yes, it's also more than a year old.

All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.

Seems we've had plenty of time to recover from out outrage fatigue since this happened fifteen months ago.

The ironic part is that this post against the Bush Administration is as quality filled as the Bush Administration. No wonder they won both times.

If you spent less time making excuses for your post and more time setting it up to begin with, there'd be less to apologize for in the first place.
That said, I guess now I'll watch it.

You sound like my dad, circa 1986.

Yeah this is old cheese. Cafferty's current question is this: Is it the news media’s job to keep all the candidates happy?

I'm gonna let Astro Zombie 3 have a little taste of this thread, but it's pretty stale, and I'm afraid if he eats too much of something this far past its expiration date, he'll get sick.

The archive at cnn.com apparently doesn't go back fifteen months. So I can't find the original blog that Cafferty refers to in the video. Maybe someone smarter than me can find an independent archive that might have it?
Frankly if I hit 'post comment' and this FPP hasn't already been zapped, I'll be very surprised.

THIS JUST IN: The Chocolate Rain guy sells out. Those suffering from outrage fatigue go 'meh.' Suddenly I'm thirsty. Film at eleven.

Who's this Bush character? Is he new to the world stage or something?

this is why we need embedded dates and tags in all video files.

pardon me if I'm missing something, but this is a law, not an amendment to the Constitution, not an actual, irrevocable presidential pardon.
Therefore, couldn't the democratic-controlled Congress just, you know, make another law that cancels this one out?

I still think that Chocolate Rain guy looks like a woman impersonating a guy. Kinda like this. But more chocolatey.
