Libs didn't have any outrage. Clinton was the closest to Socialism they had ever gotten before, not even realizing that Hellary was the REAL President. Thank God, she couldn't pass her Socialist agenda through her very misguided husband. Libs didn't cry when American soldiers were killed in Somalia, they never shed a tear, when our innocent soldiers died in a terrorist attack on the USS Cole, but they claim to cry, and be angry when our soldiers fight, and sometimes die to save our freedom. I will never understand that!
Below is a list of all Clinton's Pardons...

No one can come close to Clinton when it comes to last minute mass numbers of questionable pardons and commutations. If he doesn't hold the record, I bet he's pretty close. BTW, Libby still has had to pay a massive fine and most likely will lose his right to practice law. All for something he didn't do.

The question is about the outrage at Bush. I have a tough time understanding all the hate directed at Bush, as though this is unique.
My sadness is at the Self-Rightous attacks on Bush when Clinton abused this power to such an extreme that his own people investigated him. The the Prosecutor was replaced and it was dropped.
Clinton was the most sleazy person in the history of the Whitehouse.
However the Record for Pardons goes to Jimmy Carter at over 3,000.
Let's just be equal in our outrage.
Geegee....Check wikipedia for that...Clinton will disgust you even more...
Old-Bald-One...His Brother, Roger Clinton, and Sandy Berger weren't Clintons buddies?

I'm glad you asked. This pardon is DIFFERENT from Clintons. The reason it's different is because Scooter was a worker close to the president. One could even say Bush may have approved of what he did. (a strong case can be made for that now) you put this together and you come up with the simple fact that Bush (or his cronies) can get away with breaking the law. You may think it's ok for the laws to only apply to some of the people, but I don't.
Also since you're making the comparison, why don't you tell me some of the facts in these clinton pardons? or can you only spout numbers you heard?

The primary outrage is over the Bush perfidy.
If he had pardoned John Walker Lynn no one would have cared. It might have raised an eyebrow in Alabama; but other than that it would not even be News worthy.
The fact that Libby was a Whitehouse Team Player makes it suspect.
Go Team Bush Go

Presidential hopeful Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton says cronyism has triumphed over justice.
Cronyism is the act of doing political favors for friends and family.
On his last day in office, President Clinton, Hillary's husband, gave a Presidential pardon to his druggie half-brother Roger Clinton.
Hillary Clinton was surprisingly silent about her husband's cronyism. Now all of a sudden, she's opposed to cronyism? She's simply a two faced opportunist.

Clinton, Reagan (both 400+ each) and Bush the Elder (70+) made commutes and pardons with the intent made in giving them that power... The difference is why it was made this time.

It would be informative to know just what those people had done to be in prison or sentenced to prison; that might explain the reason for, probably, most of sentences being commuted. A lot of people were in prison for things that were later proved to be unjust or they were outright innocent. I think you are trying to compare apples to oranges here. Next time be a bit more explicit in your question, please.

They were too busy following Clinton's example to notice.
It's a lot of work to smoke weed, cheat on your spouse and molest women, lie under oath and get disbarred all at the same time.
