Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment: You ceased to be the President of the United States
“I didn’t vote for him,†an American once said, “But he’s my president, and I hope he does a good job.â€
That — on this eve of the 4th of July — is the essence of this democracy, in seventeen words.
And that is what President Bush threw away yesterday in commuting the sentence of Lewis “Scooter†Libby.
The man who said those seventeen words — improbably enough — was the actor John Wayne.
