If subpoenas are issued damanding White Houe aides testify on the firing of eight former U.S. attorneys, then President Bush will have no choice but to withdraw his offer to have his staff meet with congressionial lawmakers informally, Press Secretary Tony Snow said Wednesday.I'm no fan of Gonzales, and I think this whole affair has been handled ham-handedly. However, there doesn't appear to be an wrong doing on the part the White House and it's nice to see them finally stand up to the Democrats bullying. If the Administration doesn't stand-up for itself now in the face of the Democrats strategy of throwing mud at President Bush for the next two years, it never will. They've got to nip this in the bud, now.
I think the Democrats are making a mistake in picking this fight, but the media has blown this thing so out of purportion they almost have no choice but to persue it. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out with the Democrats and the media going full bore against the President. Personally I'd like nothing more than to see Pat Leahy lose this one big time. My sentiments about Leahy are in line with Cheney's when he told him to go "f*** yourself."
