Jack Cafferty just blasted Bush's attempt to pass a law

that would protect him from the consequences of the laws he's broken.

Sorry, no link yet, but maybe C&L will have it later.

Here is the question:

Should Congress pass a law that would prevent members of the Bush administration from being prosecuted for war crimes?

7. This is amazing,
if he wants a law to keep him from being prosecuted he must know he has commented war crimes.
To me this is an admission of guilt, his attorney's must have advised him to get a law on the books. Simply amazing!!
