First, about 4 months ago, it was reported on MSN AND FOX that the Exxon case couldn't go to the Supreme Court because too many of them held stock. Not enough judges without conflicting interests. So now, 4 months later, several of them have 'sold' their stock, and the case can be heard. So, how much do you want to bet that the justices that cut the award will have their stock ready and waiting for them when the dust settles?
Let's face it- based on income vs payment, the woman who dumped hot coffee in her lap got a bigger settlement then people who's entire lives were ruined.

Second- Why do you think Bush only gave Scooter a 'partial pardon'? He got the fine (which Cheney probably paid) and no jail time. BUT he still can't testify against the bunch of them. 5th Amendment. In the event of a full pardon, he would have been hauled to the stand with full immunity and forced to testify.

Wait until the hearings with Scott McClellan are over. I was jumping for joy that FINALLY one of the Bush Buddies was going to be honest. Hopefully Rove will be dragged in and we'll finally see some justice. I know, I do have too much hope, but a jail cell just sounds like such a fitting ending to Bush's reign of terror.

It was also reported on MSN that Exxon, Shell, and a couple of foreign companies were going to sit down to discuss Iraq oil contracts. Still believe in the WMDs? How about the tooth fairy? It's about the oil, guys. Since day 1, that's ALL it was ever about. And no one can stop them. Our boys are dead, our country is on the verge of economic depression, and the ones behind it are going to get richer.

34 Articles of Impeachment, to be exact, and Pelosi had NO right to decide to stop it. Hopefully she sealed her on fate in the next election. As well as that idiot Hoyer.
