President Bush: Serious abuse of Power

US President George Bush has commuted the sentence imposed on former Chief of Staff for Dick Cheney.

Scooter Libby was convicted this year and sentenced to 30 months in prison with two years probation.

Bush has now formally commuted the sentence.

At the time of his convction, Juror Denis Collins said -

"said he and fellow jurors found that passing judgement on Libby was 'unpleasant.' But in the final analysis, he said jurors found Libby's story just too hard to believe: 'We're not saying we didn't think Mr. Libby was guilty of the things we found him guilty of, but it seemed like ... he was the fall guy'. Collins said the jury believed Libby was 'tasked by the vice president to go and talk to reporters.

If nothing else, doesn't this indicate Bush and Cheney know they have something to hide? This isn't one for conspiracy theorists, its one for Congress. They should impeach Bush and Cheney now.

Catalogue of Errors!

The Dun Cow Inn, Sedgefield is familiar to many of us. In 2003, Tony Blair took George Bush to 'his local' for lunch.

To commemorate the occasion, a plaque was installed on the building.

Alas, things didn't go quite to plan!

A plaque outside the pub now commemorates the visit but, unfortunately, the organisation responsible for it didn't do their homework, as it contains no fewer than three glaring errors.

Not only have they got the wrong date, they have also misspelled the Prime Minister's middle name and, incredibly, the name of the pub.

You couldn't make it up!
