Remember when a congressional subpoena meant something? Ah, the good old days, before George Bush extended his executive privilege like an alien spaceship over every registered Republican voter in the country.
"Testify before Congress?!" he cried. "No one who ever sympathised with me may prostrate themselves before the Democrat party! Fools!"
Just kidding -- that dialogue would be far more Cheney-appropriate. As it is, today's news that former Bush counsellor Karl Rove got his third subpoena in 18 months is intensely anti-climactic. No one in Washington expects Rove to show up, and it's a matter of time before Rove asserts executive privilege again. 'Tis sad but true.
Perhaps the bald man known as Turd Blossom will throw everyone for a loop and not only show up before John Conyers, but also rap.
