WTF Is It Now?!?

White House tells Congress to go f*ck themselves
Hmmmm. Whuz th' best way to rally support for muh war and for immigration*... ah know! Refuse tuh answer suhpoenas over them fired prosecutors! Heh heh: "poenas."

Bush on Thursday asserted executive privilege over documents sought by Congress on the firings of federal prosecutors, likely setting up a lengthy court fight.

"Increasingly, the president and vice president feel they are above the law --- well, this is America, not the planet up their own asses," Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy should have said in a statement.

"This White House cannot have it both ways. They cannot stonewall congressional investigations by refusing to provide documents and witnesses, while claiming nothing improper occurred," he added. "Fuck that."

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers was none too happy either:

"The President's response to our subpoena shows an appalling disregard for the right of the people to know what is going on in their government. The executive privilege assertion is unprecedented in its breadth and scope, and even includes documents that the Adminstration previously offered to provide as part of their 'take it or leave it' proposal. This response indicates the reckless disrepect this Administration has for the rule of law. The charges alleged in this investigation are serious - including obstruction of justice and misleading Congress - and the White House should be as committed to this investigation as the Congress. At this point, I see only one choice in moving forward, and that is to enforce the rule of law set forth in these subpoenas."

And from Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA):

"It's tough to get lectured on the Constitution from the same Administration that said the Vice President is his own branch of government..."

Ya rly.

*Denied!
