If a contempt citation falls in the woods ...?
The House Judiciary Committee votes to hold Miers and Bolten in contempt of Congress, but the White House stands its ground.
Julia Dahl [2007-07-25]

  • Dear Tony:

    White House spokesman Tony Snow responded with strong language.

    "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 and in particular to use criminal contempt charges against the White House chief of staff and the White House legal counsel," he said.

    Tony, were you completely asleep during the Watergate years?
