Does it strike anyone as odd that 11 of the 14 pardons that Bush has announced recently are in the South? The pardon recipients come from:
Fort Worth, Texas
Falls Church, Va.
Rossville, Ga
Travelers Rest, S.C..
Jacksonville, Fla..
Midland, Texas
Sulphur, Okla.
Grant, Ala.,
Los Angeles, Ca.
Conroe, Texas
White Hall, Ark.
Charleston, Mo
Rapid City, S.D.
Mahomet, Ill
Admittedly, I haven’t looked at his other pardons. Perhaps he pardoned a wave of Midwestern criminals earlier in the year.
Theories?
