Where's your tough on crime now?

President Bush. He says he's tough on crime. He executed over 100 criminals when he was the governor of Texas. He calls himself a defender of America.

We're lucky to have such a brave man in office at a time like this.

NOT

Former Cheney aid Scooter Libby leaked top-secret information about the CIA agent Valerie Plame. This was a threat to national security. It is dangerous to have someone in the executive branch leaking information.

Bush is a coward. Instead of letting justice be served, Bush commuted Libby's sentence and let him avoid jail.

Apparently you can get away with threatening national security when you're friends with the president.

"There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends," Albus Dumbledor.
Is there justice when someone can get away with leaking national security?

Oh for the days when scandals consisted of oral sex.
