So, perhaps a sitting president CAN be indicted! NYT

42. And by giving that pardon Jerry Ford made sure he'd never be elected on his own.

I was around then. I was living in the DC area at the time. I recall quite clearly various pundits and editorials pontificating that the pardon was the right thing to do, but I was not at all alone in being totally furious, in thinking that Nixon should have paid the full penalty. He should have died in jail. Instead, as too often happens, he became canonized as a "senior statesman" when he was still the slimy used car salesman he'd always been.

Similarly, John McCain's brain cancer is making people forget what a terrible person he's been. He was lionized here on DU many years ago as some sort of liberal, when he NEVER was even remotely liberal. He has steadily opposed policies and legislation that would improve the lives or ordinary people, and somehow, now, he's sacrosanct?

No. He gets to live and die by what he's actually said and done over the years.

And never forget he was willing to inflict Sarah Palin on us. That alone should condemn him.
