In what could have been President Bush's finest "do nothing" moment...he just did nothing. Even though lobbied strongly by former Republican Louisiana Governor Dave Treen, former Democrat Senator J. Bennett Johnston, and every skeleton in Fast Eddie Edwards' closet, Bush just did nothing.
The heat has been on big-time for President Bush to pardon/commute the sentence/throw all principles out the window, and give former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card. God love him, President Bush JUST SAID NO!
WDSU has a pretty good video piece on Fast Eddie that is worth a look. He's been in Federal Prison for 6 1/2 years...he is 81 now...so that means he's been in prison about 75 years too little. Good job "W!" We could use more "do nothing" like that...
