Maureen Dowd writes a great review of Will Ferrell’s broadway show “You’re Welcome America” doing his Bush impersonation. In the show Bush “reveals that he did walk in on Cheney once in the basement of the White House locked in the amorous arms of a giant goat devil in a room full of pentagrams. “He looked at me with solid silver glowing orb-like eyes, and his breath had a strong ammonia scent to it,” Ferrell’s W. said. “And he told me in a language that I knew in my heart hadn’t been spoken in a thousand years ‘Pariff Go Lanerff!’ And I just ran.”
After witnessing such a sight, it’s amazing he wasn’t intimidated into a pardon for Scooter Libby. Today’s NYTimes quotes aides saying that Cheney lobbied fiercely for a pardon and Cheney issued a rare rebuke in an interview with The Weekly Standard last month that “I strongly believe that he deserved a presidential pardon,” and that “I disagree with President Bush’s decision.” Other conservative commentators said it was like leaving a soldier on the battlefield. But, come on, Bush already commuted Libby’s sentence, so the only consequence of his perjury is that he is a convicted felon and therefore can no longer practice law. Tisk, tisk.
