Bush advisers ordered to testify
A Congressional committee has voted to order key White House aides to testify under oath about the controversial firing of eight federal prosecutors.

"We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition aimed at honourable public servants," Mr Bush said.

"However, partisan firing expeditions aimed at uppity Liberal shysters investigating loyal Republican servants are just fine," he continued.

What, exactly, is the use of testifying without it being under oath or without there being a transcript?

Lying is somewhat less illegal when the oath isn't involved.

Then again, maybe I'm just being cynical. };>

Yeah, but Bush perjured his oath of office, and that's never come back to haunt him.

I'm still trying to puzzle out how Bush still has the gall to refer to his political hacks and croneys as honourable public servants.

I've spent the last seven years trying to puzzle out how he has the gall to refer to himself as President.

Whereas I'm still amazed, four plus years into Iraq, that Bush can accuse Democrats of wanting to start "an unnecessary conflict".

Remind me, but isn't turning down a Congressional subpoena considered a federal crime?

It was when the House voted to impeach Nixon over it....
