oath they have to tell the truth or they go to jail - she missed an opportunity. I would have brought up Scooter Libby. He told the truth (rrrright). He purjured himself. Got convicted. And do you know what - the MSM had him pardoned by * before the ink was dry on the convictions.

So Tony - blow it out your arse!!!!!!

2. Either the media is now stupid or they intentionally don't ask the

questions that need to be asked or refute information they know to be false.

I've said quite a few times now that this administration has a deep anti-constitutionalist bent. And now Tony Snow has come out and said it flat out.

This morning Snow told ABC News: "The executive branch is under no compulsion to testify to Congress, because Congress in fact doesn't have oversight ability."


This one explains why.

Quite a few people have speculated over whether Tony Snow really meant to say that Congress had no right or ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch. The claim is belied by the US constitution and all US history down to the present day. But I strongly suspect that it was no accident, slip of the tongue or loosely general statement the White House won't stand behind.

The simple truth, I think, is that there's too much criminality waiting to be uncovered.

In the US Attorney purge, yes. But that's only the start of it.

The only and perhaps the best approach for the White House is to fight what in military terms you might call a forward engagement, gumming up the very concept and premise of oversight itself in the courts for long enough to wait out the clock. That's what this is about.
