Isaac Toussie, 30, of Brooklyn, the son of a New York real estate developer, who defrauded the Housing and Urban Development Department government for millions of dollars and pled guilty to inflating the incomes of at least 100 families to make them eligible for federal loans in the lead-up to the worst housing crisis the United States has ever had.

Hey, I have an idea! Let's start keeping a running count of the number of pardons Bush issues before January 20. (I'm sure it will be an impressive list).

Bush has the ethics of a street walker that moonlights as a telemarketing used car salesman selling Yugo's. I really don't understand how Laura can live with him.

The crazy part is that Isaac Toussie is a registered democrat. His father is a lifelong Republican though.

It was a very innocent word, though I can't remember what it was.

Bush pardoned 19 people on Tuesday, including Issac Robert Toussie of Brooklyn, N.Y., who had been convicted of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and of mail fraud.

On Wednesday, the White House issued an extraordinary statement saying the president was reversing his decision in Toussie's case.

Tuesday he says one thing and an article crying foul responds immediately. Wednesday he retracts the decision that he (and ALL the presidents men) have carefully reviewed for how long?

What a.... FLIP FLOPPER!!!

Hope he's paying you well. Your job is impossible.
