Pardon me, Mr. President
Can we start a rolling list of who we think the President will pardon? If the choices are the death of his presidency as he knows it, or the pardon of many wrong doers, my bet is that he will start signing those things pretty damned quickly.

the start of my list

Richard Cheney
Douglas Feith
Scooter Libby
Condi Rice
Abramof
Ralph Reed
Andy Card
Rep. Cunningham

8. Wonder if he will do a Nixon...
resign the last 3 months of his term, and let the interim Prez pardon him.

That's the ticket.
