WASHINGTON - President Bush's embarrassing pardon of Isaac Toussie won't be reinstated before he leaves office this month, the White House confirmed Friday.

After granting - and then reversing in a historic first by a President - the Brooklyn real estate scammer's pardon for a 2003 fraud conviction, Bush plans to leave the matter to his successor, Barack Obama.

At a morning briefing, when spokeman Gordon Johndroe was asked if the Toussie pardon was "dead for good," he replied, "as far as I know, yes."
