It's about time...
Better late than never I guess, but President Bush finally did the right thing on his very last day by commuting the 2 border agents sentences. Unfortunately, the criminal record stands, but at least they can be home now where they should have been all along.

It just never ends
The big news today on CNN, with everything else going on, is that Levi Johnston "had" to quit his job. That in itself is not news at all. But what's behind it may be.
First off, I had not heard that folks were complaining about him having the job as apprentice since he did not have the proper educational requirements. However, if that is one of the rules, than he shouldn't have had the job to begin with. The fact that his educational requirements somehow just slipped thru the cracks is doubtful. The point might just be... how then did he acquire the job in the first place. Could it have been that since he was going to marry Gov. Palin's daughter Bristol, that maybe she had a hand in getting that job for him? I'm sure that is part of it. So, then is it right for her to complain that this is a "political potshot" at her? That's crazy... unless she's somehow guilty of his educational requirements slipping through those cracks. If she was going to pull strings for him, maybe she should have insisted he get his diploma and then pulled those strings so it could not be scrutinized so much.
The most laughable quote of the article is from Levi's father when he states that "He's being treated different than an average 18-year-old kid. He has to do everything by the book now." Now? Does that imply that he didn't before, or that it's going to be so hard for him to be by the book now that he's in the spotlight.
I said during the campaign that the kids should be left out of this. But again, it appears that Gov. Palin still has a hand in keeping them in the spotlight. Does she believe that all this stuff really just makes her look like all the everyday Americans out there. Maybe she's still counting on that for another election. However, if she did get that job for him knowing that he didn't have the qualifications, did she really think no one would find out. Again, it screams of how much she thinks she can just do what she wants and get away with it. When she doesn't get away with it and anyone questions her, she screams at the press for bringing it up.
Then again, maybe she's just completely innocent of everything and the world is really just against her for reasons unknown to her. Hmmmm...
