The government of Sudan would do better to hire Sarah Palin.

What is wrong with this administration that it continues to legitimize people of McFarlane's ilk? I did not make phone calls, help raise funds and actively support Barack Obama just to have his administration give aid and comfort to these enemies of America.
I want to support the President, but the actions of his administration are making it increasingly difficult to do so.

That everyone in the Reagan Administration wasn't thrown in prison is as huge a tragedy for rule of law as the current overlooking of the rampant criminality of the Bush Administration.

Their crimes are more recent than Polanski's.

That's what happens when you pardon someone who was guilty of crimes. They go out and do it again. This guy was not deterred by almost going to prison, he formed his own business to do more of what he did with Iran Contra. He's a Republican! Don't trust him overseas or with large sums of money! Why is he being paid over $400K? Does a criminal deserve to make that kind of money?
