Let's Revisit Another Possible Clemency
Karla Faye Tucker was convicted in 1984 of hacking a couple of people to death in Texas. While in prison she did the jailhouse jeebus conversion, and lots of people including the warden and even the pope campaigned to get her sentence commuted. Governor of Texas at the time was Fratboy who was interviewed by media person Tucker Carlson for Talk Magazine about Karla Faye being on the Larry King show:
"In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. "Did you meet with any of them?" I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. "No, I didn't meet with any of them", he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. "I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, 'What would you say to Governor Bush?'" "What was her answer?" I wonder. "'Please,'" Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "'don't kill me.'" I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking."
Carlson continued:
"As it turns out, the Larry King-Karla Tucker exchange Bush recounted never took place, at least not on television. During her interview with King, however, Tucker did imply that Bush was succumbing to election-year pressure from pro-death penalty voters. Apparently Bush never forgot it. He has a long memory for slights."
Apparently Bush let the state kill her because she implied he was a weeny. Yet he's making sure that a man who broke the law and seriously damaged national security will get a full pardon. And some ask why people hate this fucking vermin so much?

Check this out.
They're a crimunal mob, who say whatever is convenient and self serving, without meaning a single word of it. I never thought I'd live to see such despicable wretches given so much power.
