1. Yes but not much of one

I think Conservatives have successful muddied the waters on this one.

2. Outrage?

Why?

3. But there will much more outrage about Brittany's hair lack.

[tridim]

4. Yes, but it'll be confined to the Internets

Which apparently isn't considered actual outrage.

Outrage is only registered in the corporate media if you're a Republican or a celebrity.

5. Yes, because it's simple and easily understood.

Guy A did something very bad that may have involved guy B. Guy B then pardons Guy A. That stinks, no matter how you look at it.

6. No.

The vast majority of Americans are brain dead. It will pass with less notice than a fart in the wind.

7. He will wait until the end of his term and do it then like Poppy did

with Iran/Contra--and there was little outrage then. Heck there was more outrage by the media when Clinton pardoned that woman just before he left office!

8. Only if the "breaking news report" interrupts "American Idol"...

9. No I just can't see America outraged over Libby since they aren't

even outraged over this war of lies. I don't think (collective) we care enough yet.

10. No. They'd have to know who Libby is, first.

*sigh*

[Crabby Appleton]

11. He wouldn't issue a pardon until after the next election nt

[NoPasaran]

12. I expect the chattering classes would make a bit of a fuss

But things would stop far short of torches and pitchforks.

[zbdent]

13. Who would cover it?

The MEDIA???????????????

14. Yes, Lou Dobbs will be outraged that they spent money

attacking his man in the first place.
