Right this way, Mr. Limbaugh. A radio show show? No problem, why not a TV
show too? Remember that unredeemable piece of tripe, that hateful screed
masquerading as conservative political thought? Why, we'll perch it atop
the bestseller lists for a good long time. And yes, you too can follow
Unkie Jessie Helms into the Senate.

Spiro may have said it, but "nattering nabobs", I believe,
was penned by Safire.

Check the cover article written on Bush by Safire in the New York
Times Sunday Magazine, If I'm not mistaken he expresses some pride in
it. (This was the article on why Safire might not vote for Bush- I
don't remeber the date, unfortunately.)

Safire!  Suffering succotash!  A salient seismic seizure of the cerebrum has

The "nattering nabobs" quote is probably the most famous example, but didn't
Spiro (and/or his speechwriters) display a fondness for alliteration on more

Okay, just a few quick off-the-top-of-my-head reactions:

1. Yes!  Gerald Ford argued that Nixon needed to be pardoned because the
   whole Watergate mess was tearing the country apart, but I think he did
   the country greater damage by showing that the people at the top are
   apparently above the law.  Same with GHWB's pardons.  Let's at least
   find out the truth before even considering pardons.

2. Intriguing; worth examining since the whole idea of an Independent
   Counsel, by definition, is to make prosecutors of the executive branch
   totally independent of that branch.  Allowing the executive to pardon
   persons so convicted only undercuts this ideal.  While we're at it, how
   about putting the Independent Counsel law itself or its equivalent into
   the Constitution?

3. I don't think I'd go along with this.  There may be persons other than
   government officials who are truly deserving of a pardon.  I think the
   goals we're after can be better pursued by some of your other proposals.

4. Yes!  Now we're getting at the heart of the matter.  (Actually, I suppose
   there might be cases where this isn't a good idea, but it sure sounds
   appealing.)

5. No, I don't think pardons should be left to the whim of the electorate.
   Again, I think your other proposals will better deal with the situation.

6. Sounds good (well, maybe not literally forbidding the *idea* :-)), but
   I'd like to hear some of the "con" arguments.

Well, there's a few thoughts.  Someone may persuade me I'm wrong, particularly
on 2, 4, and 6.  Anybody else want to contribute?  Rebuttals, modifications,
new proposals, etc., Dhanesh?
