commute Libby's sentence, that is.
But I've got a dollar for whomever can identify my favorite phrase from John Edwards' response:
"Only a president clinically incapable of understanding that mistakes have consequences could take the action he did today. President Bush has just sent exactly the wrong signal to the country and the world. In George Bush's America, it is apparently okay to misuse intelligence for political gain, mislead prosecutors and lie to the FBI. George Bush and his cronies think they are above the law and the rest of us live with the consequences. The cause of equal justice in America took a serious blow today."

Since it was "a phrase from John Edwards' response," wouldn't it be John Edwards?
Everybody loves a pedant with an AP Style manual, but he still needs an apostrophe.
Strunk and White like Edwards's better, but they're dead.
So then Strunk and White would donate an 's' to Jesus' Place down the street from my office so it would be Jesus's Place instead?
Uh, no.
But they would keel over and die (again) if they ever saw the ladie's room down at the track.
If I explain why Edwards's is right while Jesus's is wrong and nobody listens, am I still correct? What if a tree falls while I'm talking? Bueller?
