The Ny Times whines about the Bush’s administration’s “Contempt for Congress“:

“The Bush administration‚Äôs disregard for the rule of law hit another low this week when Harriet Miers, the former White House counsel, defied a Congressional subpoena. Ms. Miers, who was called to testify about the United States attorneys scandal, refused even to show up at the Capitol. A second former official, Sara Taylor, did testify, but she inappropriately invoked executive privilege to dodge key questions. Congress should take firm action to compel Ms. Miers and Ms. Taylor to provide the testimony it is entitled to hear.

Congress has been conducting a much-needed investigation of last year’s dismissal of nine top prosecutors. The evidence so far strongly suggests that the firings were done for improper political reasons, to help Republicans win elections, and that Ms. Miers and Ms. Taylor were involved. As part of its supervisory authority, Congress is entitled to question the two women.

Nevertheless, Ms. Miers refused to appear before the House Judiciary Committee after President Bush ‚Äî claiming executive privilege ‚Äî took the extraordinary step of ordering her not to testify. If Congress is seeking any privileged information, Ms. Miers can decline to answer those specific questions. But executive privilege did not negate her legal duty to appear when Congress subpoenaed her.”

“Much needed” my ass. For who? The Kos Kids and Josh Marshall who still dream of a Rovian Frog March?

It’s about time the Administration told Leaky Leahy and the Witch Hunt Boys to pound salt. In six months they’ve uncovered nothing of any wrong doing in the so-called AG scandal - NADA. In six months congress has conducted over 300 investigation into everything except - and it may be coming - whether or not Rove washed his hands after using the rest room.

Little wonder why it’s why 75% of the American people hold such contempt for this BDS possessed Congress.
