[ Toussie, one of 19 people Bush pardoned on Tuesday, pleaded guilty in 2003 to defrauding the federal government and Suffolk County in mortgage and price-inflation schemes. He and his father Robert, among the largest landowners on Long Island, are accused of selling shoddy homes at inflated prices, largely to minorities, in an ongoing class-action lawsuit involving 400 families. Yesterday, the White House said the President is revoking Toussie's pardon, at least in part because of news reports revealing that his father gave over $28,000 to the Republican National Committee just months before the pardon petition. The White House counsel recommended the pardon to the President. ] Will they be giving back the $28,000? And HOW can they UNDO a pardon? If he pardon's SureShot, himself, Rumsfeld & crew can Obama now undo it? -- Cliff Maybe their check bounced??? Maybe we shouldn't be too quick to criticize Bush for actually trying to correct one of his screw-ups, albeit a minor one, for once. The result is more important than the motivation. It's a process. Can he unscramble eggs too? Jeff -- Cliff |
