WTF Is It Now?!?

Huge safe falls on head of paper of record
Well, something smacked some sense into them. Finally.

From a blistering op-ed in the NY Times:

After six years of kowtowing to the White House, Congress is finally challenging [the Dictator-tot]’s campaign to trample all legal and constitutional restraints on his power. Mr. Bush’s claim of executive privilege in the attorneys scandal is especially ludicrous. The White House has said repeatedly that Mr. Bush was not involved in the firings of nine United States attorneys. If that’s true, he can hardly argue that he has the right to conceal conversations and e-mail exchanges that his aides had with one another and the Justice Department.

Last week, in a bit of especially mendacious spin, Tony 'Stinkfingers' Fratto, the White House deputy press secreliar, responded to the subpoenas on the illegal wiretapping by saying, “It’s unfortunate that Congressional Democrats continue to choose the route of confrontation.”

These guys are unbelievable. Ummm, PS, asswipe: Republicans joined the Dems in calling for the subpoenas. Jerkoff.

Actually, Mr. Bush chose that route long ago by defining 'consultation' as a chance for lawmakers to hear about decisions he had already made, 'bipartisanship' as a chance for Democrats to join Republicans in rubber-stamping those choices and 'Congressional oversight' as self-serving and possibly seditious. At this point, confrontation is far preferable to the path the Republican majority in Congress chose for so many years — capitulation.

Whoa! After six years of kowtowing to the White House, the NY Times is finally challenging [the Dictator-tot]’s campaign to trample all legal and constitutional restraints on his power! Jeepers!
