Or he would, if he had any integrity.
Via Hot Air:
Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, will hold hearings on the Libby commutation this week. Conyers has been calling for Bush’s impeachment for quite a while now, and even held a moonbat dress-up impeachment hearing before the 2006 elections put him in the chairman slot. When Clinton commuted the FALN terrorists’ sentences in 1999, Conyers voted against condemning it and had this to say:
“Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to what is clearly a politically motivated and totally senseless resolution. We are a Nation of laws, and if any matter is abundantly clear by our Constitution, it is that the President has the sole and unitary power to grant clemency. Is there any Member that does not understand that? Every President has the sole and unitary power to grant clemency…Now the reason that he has the power to grant clemency is that it is that the President is uniquely positioned to consider the law and the facts that apply in each request for clemency.”

I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news this morning. Al Gore III, the son of Eco-Alarmist Al Gore was busted in Southern California. His Hybrid car was a bit TOO green:
Al Gore’s son arrested on drug charges
Al Gore’s son was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs after deputies pulled him over for speeding, authorities said.
Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over at about 2:15 a.m., Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino said.
I pause to admit I was impressed that he managed to take that little eggbeater car up to triple digits.
The deputies said they smelled marijuana and searched the car, Amormino said. They found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, he said.
“He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs,” Amormino said.
Apparently marijuana green is too green. PETA would be happy, it is completely animal product free.

The Live Earth concerts are being hailed as one of the events of our lifetime, but while Gore is basking in the adoration of the eco-nazis Global Warming Alarmists, he faces some serious complaints and criticisms.
Some question Live Earth’s ‘green’ credentials - Congressman, Roger Daltry of The Who are among concert critics
Live Earth organizers have gone to considerable lengths to marry the global event’s methods with its message, but they’ve been called hypocrites by critics as varied as a Congressman and one of the Who.
“The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert,” Who lead singer Roger Daltrey recently told a British newspaper.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. (who has called global warming a “hoax”), earlier in a posting on the Web site for the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works called on Hollywood global warming activists “who talk the talk, to walk the walk.”
“This is going to be the greenest event of its kind, ever,” former Vice President and Live Earth partner Al Gore told The Associated Press. “The carbon offsets and the innovative practices that are being used to make this a green event, I think, will set the standard for years to come.”
