So when I hear that George W. Bush has pardoned himself and his administration of war crimes, only one question pops into my head:
Wait...we can do that?
So...through the power vested in me by...myself, I pardon myself from any wrongdoings I may commit in the future.
Watch out, world: I'm unaccountable!

Let's say, out of the blue, that you found out I started lobbying for a bill granting retroactive immunity for anyone who beat a shriner to death with a Teddy Ruxbin. What would you assume about me?
I can't say I'm surprised though.
Here's the other side's spin though. "Well they're not really war crimes because these are savage people who are trying to kill us. These touchy feely people who are all concerned about rights might want to prosecute this great man for doing nothing other than protecting his country. He should have immunity" etc.
This is the mind of a 22 percenter, and it depresses the hell out of me.
The winners write the rule book, that's for sure. It's kind of interesting to know, though, that one can play with the law by rewording the crime.
The other fun thing is that nobody has really come out and said that the US has done anything wrong. Isn't this kind of an admission of guilt?
I think I'd be happy with a trial. I don't think I he should be put to death, in the same way Clinton didn't deserve to have his life ruined by being convicted (or Nixon for that matter: I'm sure they have to deal with some pretty nutty situations as President), but a trial would be nice...even if it was just a puppet show.
If this is the case ... I'm pardoning myself for throwing a bottle of syrup across a crowded party, and for throwing up red Jell-O shots all over Sarah and Matt's white shower curtain.
PS: Every Bush puppet is going to get theirs when the revolution comes.
