TP's Khanna: House Says Bush "Inappropriately Used of Executive Privilege"
They waited to the last damn minute, and this will most likely not suffice for most here in this or other progressive, liberal communities.
Nevertheless, from the great and diligent Satyam Khanna at Think Progress, the House does something that the Senate hasn't done:
Have a bipartisan release slamming "Mr.28, 27, or 22%" for wronging using his powers.
Damn, they used "wrong" and "abuse" in the SAME SENTENCE?!
Get OUT OF HERE!
I underrated this report now as I take a second glance at it. Who says we can't learn anything from Alaska?
I wonder what Obama and Biden think about this?
And you have to read the first quote in response to Khanna's fine effort, an effort no one in the media outside of the Keith-Rachel Power Block will cover:
Too true.
Sadly though, too late.
Update: And more reporting from TP on Cheney/Bush thuggery. From Ryan Powers, they even threatened PBS!
"Compassionate Conservatism" at its finest.

On CIA leak scandal: “The assertion of executive privilege prevents the Committee from having access to a complete set of records and thus results in the Committee’s inability to assess fully the actions of the Vice President.”
On the environment: “The assertion of executive privilege under these circumstances has stymied the Committee’s investigation of the [California] waiver and ozone decisions. For these reasons, the Committee finds that the President’s assertion of executive privilege is wrong and an abuse of the privilege.“
Damn, they used "wrong" and "abuse" in the SAME SENTENCE?!

Gee, how about the House impeach the bastard?

Scott Horton reports today that PBS may have refused to nationally air a controversial documentary on the use of torture by the U.S. government in order to protect its funding. Previously, the Bush administration threatened to cut PBS’s funding after it aired Bush’s War, a Frontline special critical of the war in Iraq:
On Thursday evening WNET in New York will air an important new documentary by Emmy and Dupont Award winning producer Sherry Jones entitled “Torturing Democracy.” It appears on WNET and several other affiliates independently because PBS would not run the show. […]
According to producer Sherry Jones, PBS told her that “no time slot could be found for the documentary before January 21, 2009″ — the day after George W. Bush and Dick Cheney leave office.
"Compassionate Conservatism" at its finest.
