Executive Privilege My Arse!
It’s a happy day in my neighborhood today since a house panel has voted to cite Karl Rove for contempt of congress. The vote was 20 to 14 split exactly along party lines. In response, Republican Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) had this to say:
“Instead of conducting witch hunts, we should consider bipartisan legislation to reduce the price of gas, reduce crime and secure the borders.
First, he’s right. Karl Rove is something of a witch. The bad kind of witch who poisons things and hurts people who don’t deserve it. Second, IT’S ABOUT TIME DEMS! Cause let’s get something straight. Karl Rove is not the executive that executive privilege was meant to protect in the great balance of power between our branches of government. Alberto Gonzales, meanwhile, is suffering a different sort of pay-back.
The man can’t find a decent job. A former attorney general of the US? Wow, that’s gotta hurt! So maybe the long dark days of the Bush Administration are really winding down. Maybe there’s light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. While I am very tired of shrill partisan screeching (Nancy, dude, keep it righteous. We’ll all be happier.) It’s a relief to know that our system can still self-correct.
