The Bush Gang are running on empty.

From the Carpetbagger Report:

Yesterday, after the House Judiciary Committee approved contempt citations against former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and current Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, the Bush gang banged on the table, starting with a surprisingly unhinged rant from Tony Snow.

“For our view, this is pathetic…. [W]e offered further that we would make available any persons of interest at the White House for full interviews by members of the committees — they’d be able to ask whatever questions they wanted to do. In each and every one of these cases, the efforts of the White House were rebuffed.

“And so now we have a situation where there is an attempt to do something that’s never been done in American history, which is to assail the concept of executive privilege, which hails back to the administration of George Washington.”
