Bush Commutes Libby's Prison Sentence

Pathetic President

Was this a surprise? Bush can commute the sentence of a convicted LIAR but two Border Patrol agents, who DID their job, languish in prison. Nixon pales to the corruption in this administration!!

Would you be as kind as educate me on what "commute" is? The only commute I know is driving to and fro. (LOL). What does it mean, why does it matter?

(Anything Bush does I know isn't good because I have yet to see something good come out of his administration, so my guess is this commute isn't an extra 20 years tagged on to his sentence.)

Perhaps this article'll make it a bit clearer:
