President Bush is expected to claim executive privilege to prevent two more White House aides from testifying before Congress about the firings of federal prosecutors.

Thursday is the deadline for Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser, to provide testimony and documents related to the firings, under a subpoena from the Senate Judiciary Committee. Also subpoenaed was White House political aide J. Scott Jennings. The Justice Department included both men on e-mails about the firings and the administration's response to the congressional investigation.

Good for dubya.

First the congress isn't interested in anything but making political points. That was obvious with the latest Gonzales hearing where he tried to go into classified session to answer their questions and they weren't interested.

I wouldn't testify in front of their kangaroo courts until they gave me immunity. They are only going to try and trap someone else.

Hopefully they can continue to move their poll numbers into the single digits. They haven't done a damn thing in this whole session except try to promote genocide in Iraq and try and get someone perp-walked.

It will do one thing however, the republicans (and the moderates) will see what's up, they'd better start thinking about doing something or they'll be back on the other end.

The dems just continue to remind me how they cannot be trusted to be in power, they just are not a responsible political party.
