Bill Clinton blasts Bush's interference in Libby case.

Former President Bill Clinton blasted his successor's decision to spare former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby from prison, telling Iowa radio listeners that Libby's case differed from his own administration's pardon controversy.

"You've got to understand, this is consistent with their philosophy," Clinton said during an interview on Des Moines news-talk station WHO.

Bush administration officials, he said, "believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle."

I have been very disappointed that Bill has not weighed in more often on the terrible things that Bush has done to this country. He, more then almost anybody, has the kind of perspective that would carry a lot of weight with the American people.

Jimmy Carter has certainly not been shy, and Clinton should have been outspoken as well.

I would hate to think he stayed quiet in deference to his wife's political aspirations.
