It was reported on the Web that President Bush has asserted executive privilege to prevent Attorney General Michael Mukasey from having to comply with a House panel subpoena for material on the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

Among the documents sought by House Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman are FBI interviews of Vice President Dick Cheney.

I am going to save Rep. Henry Waxman a lot of time and a lot of MY money by giving him all the answers he needs: Richard Armitage leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press and even that was not in any way a violation of Federal law, since ole Valerie wasn't undercover at all - except (shudder) with Joe Wilson, her husband!

I'm just wondering if the various members of the U.S. Congress are attempting to set new (low) standards for themselves. They are at 9% approval now. Are they trying for 4%? It's the only explanation for their neverending whacking at an already deceased equine!
