Good news day. Its been confirmed. Conrad Black wasn't given a pardon by outgoing President G.W. Bush.
Black is still appealing his sentence though. However, by the time the appeal is heard and a new trial upon even a successful appellate decision, Black will be incarcerated for at least two years.
Also at the end of his jailing, it is also likely that he will be deported to Britain. Ironic isn't it. The incoming President Obama politiced out of Chicago, Illinois as a federal Senator. The newspapers Black still owns are headquartered there. Too bad his lordship backed the Republicans. His schlep certainly would have worked far more effectively on Democrats.
Black's companies lost a $51M legal action to CanWest. Conrad appears to be on a roll.

Black sure is good at getting it wrong. First, he thought he could get away with stealing from the RICH in the USA, then that his zillion-dollar defense would get him off, then, then, then ...
Several weeks ago, after years of brown-tonguing Bush, he was in flat-out grovel mode as he pleaded for a pardon, but it never came.
Black, the world's first neocon and biggest zionazi, took it very bad and this is how he described Bush in an e-mail to an old crony:
"But I know him a little and was always afraid that he was as he seemed, an ignorant, cocky, superannuated, locker room, towel-snapping frat-boy, who traded in alcoholism for low Protestant fervour, and got where he is by surviving childbirth.”

Haw-haw-haw, those right-wing assholes hate it when their own dog bites.

I read somewhere a conservative is just a liberal who hasn't been arrested yet.
Conrad Black as a liberal! Who ever would have thunk it?
