It's good to know that a man who once mocked a death row inmate's plea for clemency and who oversaw the creation of an internment camp with the deliberate purpose of sidestepping constitutional protections is now concerned with the concept of mercy...providing it's for a well-connected, well-off former associate who might spill his guts should he be forced to do time in the big house.
Congratulations, Mr. President. There is no bar for venality set so low that you can't find a way to slither underneath it.

Would you have expected anything less bitterandrew? The cynical, holier-than-the-rest-of-us attitude of politicians, celebrities and the monied is predictable to the point of boredom. Only it doesn't bore me - it f*cking infuriates me.
Everyone scoffed and said Lex Luthor becoming President of Superman's USA was unrealistic.
How do you like your realism now, fanboys?!?
If Luthor was vice-president, he'd still be in office.
