Pres. Bush is most comfortable when he is attack mode, and at an impromptu news conference this afternoon, he was in the zone:
It will be regrettable if [the Democrats] choose to head down the partisan road of issuing subpoenas and demanding show trials when I have agreed to make key White House officials and documents available. I have proposed a reasonable way to avoid an impasse. I hope they don’t choose confrontation. I will oppose any attempts to subpoena White House officials….
It’s now my hope that the United States Congress will act appropriately. My administration has made a very reasonable proposal. It’s not too late for Democrats to drop the partisanship and work together. Democrats now have to choose whether they will waste time and provoke an unnecessary confrontation, or whether they will join us in working to do the people’s business…
My concern is, they would rather be involved with partisanship. They view this as an opportunity to score political points…
If the Democrats truly do want to move forward and find the right information, they ought to accept what I proposed. And the idea of dragging White House members up there to score political points, or to put the klieg lights out there — which will harm the President’s ability to get good information, Michael — is — I really do believe will show the true nature of this debate.

“The true nature of this debate.” So whatever horseshit he said about how mistakes were made, yadda yadda, he really didn’t mean.
IF they want to move forward and do the right thing THEN THEY WOULD IMPEACH THAT LYING BASTARDS ASS AND CHENY TOO THEY ARE THE LYINGEST BAGS OF SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! GO AHEAD DEMOCRATS AND GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND SUBPEONA THE BASTARDS AND IF HE ENVOKES PRIVILEDGES THEN CONSIDER THEM ALL GUILTY FOR THE WILL BE!!!!!!
“…. or to put the klieg lights out there… ”
Bush could have some klieg lights brought up from the torture cells in Gitmo.
Or, if those are in use helping extract another timely confession, just “rendition” some of those fine lights from any one of a number of secret, overseas prisons.
