Begging Pardon

Bush Grants Pardon to Man Convicted in $25 Million Fraud Scheme
President Bush has granted a pardon to a Texan who pleaded guilty to fraud in one of the 1980's Savings and Loan scandals. He is David B. McCall, Jr., former lawyer and mayor of Plano, Texas.

Compare and contrast McCall and Marc Rich--and then try to recall the self-righteous wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Rich pardon three years ago.

And, if you feel so inclined, check out TalkLeft's main page, which has more information regarding McCall, and other stories of interest.
