So what if Bush pardons him ... what does Bush stand to lose? Heck, Clinton sold pardons and while a shifty man he remains, that didn't harm him as much as it should have.
I think he ought to find some schmuck and pull a King Bugs Bunny on him and do:
arise Sir Loin of Beef [whap with the septre]; Sir Duke of Earl [whap]; Wellington of Beef [whap]; Benedict of Eggs [whap]; Sir side of bacon [whap]; Burlington of Coats [whap]; Sheriff of Knotted Head [whap]
You are too kind, sire. [Schmuck falls with ten visible welts on his head]
This story is no story that matters. So he pardoned him. That really isn't significant. Think of Nixon -- pardoned. Get over it.

actually he commuted his prison sentence. The conviction remains, and he'll pay (rather his supports who pay his legal fees) will pay a $200,000 fine. Bush has left the door open for a full pardon later, though--which I bet he will later on.
So, it's the same punishment Clinton got. He was caught lying, but no jail time.
What's ridiculous is that he didn't HAVE to lie. The investigation into the leak of Valerie Plame's CIAness came from a source unrelated to the Bush Administration. How he managed to obstruct justice without anyone to protect is just stupid.
I love the comment the guy on Fox News made when he was asked about this after the story broke: "how do you think other, more liberal-minded news programs will react to this?" "Oh, I know of ONE news anchor whose head is exploding at this very moment."
