Pardon Clock Ticking

We’re in the final 100 hours of the Bush era, but we’re not out of the woods yet. Before its time is up, the Administration is still trying to open up new areas to offshore drilling, and they’re trying to bury a Pentagon inspector general report on the military’s TV pundits program with a 4 p.m. Friday afternoon release. Then there are the last-minute pardons expected sometime between now and noon Tuesday.
