Rep. John Conyers (Democrat-MI), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove on Monday to testify about the Bush administration's firing of nine U.S. attorneys and its prosecution of a former Democratic governor.
On two previous occasions, then-president George W. Bush instructed Rove not to honor the subpoenas, citing "executive privilege." And the Democrats in the House, in their usual display of haplessness, capitulated.
Well, Bush is gone, the Democrats have a strengthened majority, and you know sure as hell that had the tables been reversed, a Republican-led House would have made sure, come hell or high water, that an adviser to a Democratic administration honor such a subpoena.
Turd Blossom ain't got Little Boy George to protect him this time. He would do well to show up.
