White House Tries to Ward Off Subpoenas


With the threat of subpoenas imminent, the White House has deigned to permit Congress to talk to Rove and Miers behind closed doors.

The White House will not permit the duo to testify under oath, and no transcript will be allowed.

Gee, why doesn't the talking White House just come right out and say that it has something to hide?

Appearing less than amused, Senator Chuck Schumer said, "That’s fine. Let’s have a conversation under oath, with a transcript."

Schumer added, "We'll proceed with subpoenas on Thursday."

Bush will speak (defensively) about The Purge at 5:45 PM, EDT, today, March 20, 2007. Tune in to find out the answer to today's question. The question: Exactly how much will Bush sound like Tricky Dick Nixon?
