Bill Clinton, while campaigning for his wife, criticized President Bush's decision to remove the prison sentence (not a pardon) for "Scooter" Libby (how he got the nickname "Scooter" is beyond me).
While its nice to see good ol' Bill out and about, doing what he does best...criticizing others. It is ridiculous for Bill Clinton to be passing judgement on anyone in such situations.
Clinton stated, "...they believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle.”
Is he criticizing someone else as treating the law as a minor obstacle? This coming from a guy who committed perjury, and was impeached as president?!
I thought Bill believed in second chances. At least that is what his wife gave him and what one would think when they hear that he pardoned 140 people in his final hours in the Oval Office. Including a man who evaded over $10 million dollars in back taxes, who just so happened to be a large donor to the Democratic party (and Mrs. Clinton's campaign).
Pardon happy Mr. Clinton then tried a cheap shot at President Bush saying, “You have to think; we’ve seen what happens when you don’t think.” ...Yea, you stain a blue dress and get impeached.

Whether it is by definition a pardon, it seems reasonable to compare the egregiousness of such sheltering across administrations. I don't remember Clinton pardoning anyone who could reasonably be suspected of conspiring with him in a crime while he was President - which, by the way, was one of the grounds for impeachment envisioned by the framers of the Constitution.
(BTW, I am not “Saint Bill”.)
Bill...140 pardons in his final hours? You can't reasonably say that all of those were clean pardons. If you think about it, if they were legitimate pardons why did he wait for the last minute to issue them? If they were legitimate he would have pardoned them before he was being ushered out of the Oval Office!
The draft dodger and his wife are some of the biggest crooks in Washington, they have proven this time and time again. The draft dodgers wife just got caught taking crooked money from a criminal with Chinese ties!
