Pardon?

(on Bush's "commutation" of I.Lewis Scooter Libby's jail term)

It's no surprise this son of lies who lies
in pardoning the lie on Libby's lips,
whose lies protected lies that spawned more lies,
plays liar-lawyer to shield the lawyer-liar.

"I made a judgement, a considered judgement"
the sentence was "excessive" and "severe,"
bush-lawyer Bush said of the 30 months
mere Treason called for. So, dishonor-bound

to his Father of Lies, son of a Bush,
to countenance Iraq's blood sacrifice --
impunity's immunity, royal
decree, monarchical-maniacal

prerogative and privilege -- falsely
eviscerates the verdict, but true Judgment,
to which seers impute brimstone and fire,
by tongues of flame shall sear the lying liar.
