Sprinter Marion Jones seeks commutation from Bush.






And who else is next: convicted Michael Vick for dog fighting asking for commutation or Roger Clemens asking for a Presidential pardon in his steroid investigation?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Disgraced U.S. sprinter Marion Jones has asked President George W. Bush to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to prosecutors about her steroid use, a Justice Department spokesman said on Monday.

The spokesman said there is a pending commutation petition for Jones, but declined to give any further details.

The Justice Department typically reviews petitions for commutations and pardons and makes recommendations on whether they should be granted. Most such petitions are denied.

The list is long for pardons with the Bush Administration and Bush will have to pardon himself and Cheney too. Look for all the White House staff and thousands of friends and Law Makers on the list as the corruption has been going on for 7 years. Henry Paulson will be on the list too.
