The shrub is claiming privilege

As if that is anything new ...

The shrub invoked executive privilege to keep Congress from seeing the FBI report of an interview with the prick Dick Cheney and other records related to the administration's leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity in 2003.

The shrub's decision drew a sharp protest Wednesday from Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of House Oversight Committee, which had subpoenaed Attorney General Michael Mukasey to turn over the documents."This unfounded assertion of executive privilege does not protect a principle; it protects a person," the California Democrat said. "If the vice president did nothing wrong, what is there to hide?"

Waxman left little doubt he would soon move for a committee vote to hold Mukasey in contempt of Congress.
