- were the leaders and they're on the way out. I wouldn't really get that
- much satisfaction from tormenting their underlings, and I don't mind
- watching them walk away at this point. We (liberals) have an opportunity
- to bury at least one of our hatchets and I think that we should jump at it.
- We have nothing to lose by being magnanimous and we might have a great deal
- to gain.

- *I* was surprised. After all the insistence that those guys weren't
- guilty of anything it came as a surprise to me that Bush thought they
- needed pardons. I would have thought that it would have reflected better
- on Bush if they had faced charges and been vindicated, but maybe there was
- some substance there after all.

- Don't count on it. Remember Billy Carter?
