White House: Congress' Contempt Citation is "Futile"

[ushdfgakjasgh]

100% bullshit

Refusal to honor a Congressional subpoena by appearing before the subpoenaing committee is a felony under 2 U.S.C. § 192. The act of instructing a witness to disregard the subpoena is also a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 1505. This is a different matter from refusing to answer questions as a result of privilege.

[christianscientist66]

See previous post: It is also why all these dictators are toppling in S. America, the people there now hate the U.S. and love guys like Hugo Chavez, why we had the School of the Americas (where our boys learned torture). It is why you've heard a lot about Pinochet in recent years, & why hundreds of police/intelligence agents/former politicians are being prosecuted in S. American & around the world. U.S. media? Silent. Not elsewhere.

[christianscientist66]

GWB can now declare martial law if there is a dollar collapse, natural disaster, etc (new law + exec order). With all the charges he'd face, & THAT HIS FATHER & OTHERS CLOSE TO HIM ARE FACING DUE TO "OPERATION CONDOR" (check Wikipedia), Bush will do ANYTHING to hold power. Iran-Contra, part of Condor, was about EXTERMINATING all left-leaning people in Central America. 100's of thousands were tortured & murdered. THIS is why Bush for 6 years has illegally refused to release Reagan-era records.

[jgb2004]

f**k executive privilege. if they insist on pulling executive privilege at every turn, then the only option is impeachment hearings.

[mcalien24]

the administration is now the borg...i know im a nerd.

[DrJincyll]

Damn shes hot. I dont want to hate her so Ill just turn down the volume and favorite this

[JizzonTheDark]

Wow, she can read.

[gotcha109]

did she blow Bill as well as Monica...no matter Hillary won't do anything anyhows...gotta love the ladies whom put there carriers ahead of family and moral values...

[dtsc]

Resistance is futile. You will disarm your weapons, and escort us to Sector 001. If you attempt to intervene, we will destroy you.

We are the Borg.

[dave98503]

want to see something else that is funny?

type in:

"Bushtalk at Sydney Summit"

on youtube.

no space between Bushtalk.

[Wizard364]

These criminals think there's so many of them in on it that they couldn't possibly ever all be brought to justice. Make no mistake this criminal Neocon enterprise WILL be held to account. RON PAUL 2008!!!

[dave98503]

has anyone seen on youtube "cheney falling asleep"...the Prez. makes an error...he says, i wish we could control the wind. Since when in history have we been able to control mother nature. we can't even control a backwards country. then he calls the winds "westerly" instead of the Santa Ana winds. Does anyone there brief the Prez. about CA and it's lingo...or did it just go right past his mind?

(just my opinion. leave this post up a couple months. Thank you.)

[getplaning]

Dana Perrino is not as dumb as she seems. If she was as dumb as she seems, a teleprompter flashing the words inhale/exhale would be clearly visible during televised briefing sessions.

[CampHazzard]

She won't have to speculate on whether I think she's adorable... I don't care if Bush brings on the End of Days, as long as I could cuddle her up all nuclear winter long...

[bittyrock]

I'd Fuck Her To! But Gee Dub Ya Is Probably Tapping It!

[malrubius]

But she's so hot! If she would do these conferences naked I would vote for Cheney for a third term.

[AiresQX4]

I hate this CUNT WHORE!!

[apolloscam]

"I was panicked a bit because I really don't know about the Cuban Missile Crisis, or Operation Northwoods," confessed Dana Perino. The utility of arresting White House employees was proven during Watergate and Iran-Contra.

[J1Goro]

Wrap your mind around the only via anti-war candidate Ron Paul.

[J1Goro]

White house against American rights. Veracifier the idiot.

[J1Goro]

Does Veracifier support another unobtainable impeachement like Kucinich?

[annarboriter]

What's futile, Dana? Resistance? Who are Borg?

Not only does she drink the koolaid but she washes, rinses, and repeats in it!

[chromethink]

No wonder she said "We"...

[chervilant]

Is that the Royal We, Dana? Are you happy with your embarrassing role of blowing smoke up our collective asses? Do you have ANY family or friends who take you to task over your complicity in this criminal cabal?!? BTW, having an exceptional hairstyle does NOT redeem you, poor wee obfuscator.

[blair227]

Impeach,Jail and Hang this whole miserable bunch.

[NuclearHellFire]

By democrats, she means congress.

[de79hill]

Congress has no power over the President anymore! and if that is so,then the people have no voice in D.C. he is now THE DECIDER!

I wish we had Ron Paul in there right now!

we still have a year to go and it gets worse

every single Day!! God help us All !!

[chromethink]

Congress needs to send out the House Seargent At Arms to take Rove & Bolton into custody. They have the constitutional power to enforce contempt citations with or without the assistance of the Executive.

But, they'll puss out on this just like everything else.

[weneedhelp]

executive privilege 4 everything = DICTATOR

[Powitree]

Executive "privilage" has been abused against the Constitution of the United States of America.

[615ocean]

Impeach

[yayarea41507]

If this citation DOES NOT produce a result or effect, THIS ADMINISTRATION LITERALLY HAS UTTER DOMINATION

its pathetic & embarrassing

FIGHT THE POWER

[F4O4U4R4S]

thank god nobody asked her to describe the cuban missle crisis! dont worry dana after you are done covering for the administration, hugh hefner will come knocking on your door to offer a centerfold opportunity for you and quite frankly i cant wait! under pet peeves you could write: sitting on dick cheneys lap for hours on end! hahahha

[cr6880]

Now she READS the bullshit!!!

Cheney must have caught her past (non)performances on FOX and beat her about the head a bit (or just shot her).

[QuasiEvilScott]

Silly congress, power's for kids!

-Qes

[LayneRoxxx]

Executive privilege gives the president the right to order whatever he wants, no matter what it is. Be it molesting a child, torturing your grandmother, sodomizing your dog with a broomstick, or setting your mother ablaze.

As long as there is executive privilege there is no oversight or consequence of actions by the President or anyone he chooses to give immunity to.

Nobody can do anything about it. Bush is the decider of everything and everyone.

[rocksiphone]

CNBC MAKES FUN OF RON PAUL

[stealth63]

Congress is constitutionally mandated to do oversite. Just how are they supposed to do this if they cant compel possible wrong doers to testify. Can you imagine if the police had to ask a bankrobber for permission to investigate? This is NOT how the constitution says it should work, no matter how many times they repeat that nonsense. I hope the next admin will prosecute these idiots, just so it doesn't happen again.

[QuasiEvilScott]

The bank-robber would like to inform you that he's read up on the constitution and says that IS how it works. He also mentions that you need to have more money in the bank next time he visits.

-Qes

[stealth63]

Really? So we have to ask the person we want to investigate if it is OK with him? That's what you would consider a co-equal branch of govt? Just wait until there's a dem president-you will see oceans of crocodile tears from the repubs about the "abuse of priveledge".That is not how it is supposed to work. As a constitutional scholar, I'd like to know where you found mention of "executive priviledge". (Hint-It doesn't) Also, if I had more money, I'd buy a better government.

[QuasiEvilScott]

You misunderstood me - I was agreeing with you.

-Qes

[stealth63]

Whoops, my bad

[rp088814]

Americans hate you Dana. Republicans hate you. Democrats hate you. Everyone hates you.

she is a stupid whore

[ufcivil]

is she reading the answer?

seriously I think she's reading the answer.

[UTBESUX]

Yes, she is reading the anser. The press should ask UNEXPECTED questions.

[zmgriffith]

"Futility" is correct, but not for the reason this cunt is blathering about...

It's futile because they can indict, try, and convict Karl Rove, and Little Boy Bush will pardon him seconds later.

Dana Perino should be killed, by the way.

[eastwood13]

That is why they should just wait another year then throw all their asses in jail.

[blair227]

When and if the truth ever comes out about all Bushco has done to hurt this country it will make Nixon look like a choir boy.

[julianhpike]

18 missing minutes my ass!

[GlobalSufi]

She actually just said that the US Congress is futile. Not surprising coming from a president who think s he & all of his admin is above the laws of the USA.

[Wizard364]

I'm sick of this shit! This whole thing is a fucking charade and they're ALL in on it in screwing over Americans again and again. Whether it's an endless war for Halliburton and Israel or high crime after high crime they just play this stupid game and cover for each other time and again. This MUST end! RON PAUL 2008!!!

[ommommoo]

And the congress plays dead and keeps funding the wars.

[stdmas43]

Ron Paul help us!!!

[theomniaphilus]

executive right? This shit is so Orwell that we can not but believe. It is so unreasonable that it is palatable; we expect this because it is normative. And we just keep on watching the videos...and I get more and more angry.

Good call sheepwshotguns^. When did the borg enter the solar system and assimilate the executive branch? I fucking hate this world right now.

[sheepwshotguns]

so the neo-cons are taking lessons from the borg now?

[videostuf]

translation - we can do whatever the fuck we want and there is nothing you can do about it. i fucking hate them. i fucking hate the smug look on the faces of this admin. and people still fucking defend these bastards? un-fucking believable. that's like holding hands with the guy who is going to skull fuck you as he leads you to the mike vick rape stand. wake up!

[franknyt]

When they hang George Walker Bush and Richard Cheney, I hope they execute them at least five days apart so that we can all celebrate get drunk and recover from our hangovers so that we can do it all over again. Life for Rumsfeld and Rice, Gonzalez, Gates, and at least 20 years each for their press secretaries because "once a Bushie always a Bushie!"

[JohnQPublixx]

The congress abdicated much of the power, now in question, to the executive branch. Then they 'pretend' to whine about it. They can take it back; the fix is in. They want it this way. Little weasels, aren't they?

[BarbClarkTheMovie]

I have written a dozen letters to Bill Richardson about plans for national health care. All were ignored. The insurance company elite continue to drag money from employers for work comp and refuse to pay the medical bills of forgotten injured health care and 911 rescue workers. Seems like Bill Richardson is another member of the elite. Adventist Health System. God Bless America.

[gallomex13]

The funny shit is that Hugo Chaves uses pretty much the same words to cover up his shit "Executive privilege".

[PreetSG]

Exactly! He calls it his Executive right... But should not a check and balance be in place to check on this right? I thought that was the Congress' job...

[Whoo69]

She keeps using that bullshit term "executive privelege." LOL Anyone with a brain can see through her.

[cad420guy]

She reads the script pretty good.

She will make a great telemarketer while in prison.

[jsfumato]

she is a FEMBOT they unplug her at night

[crosslakebum]

Against the President congress is weak....the supreme court is weak...and the justice department is weak...how is this not a dictatorship again?

[HiGuy505]

the justice department is part of the executive. it's been weakened intentionally.

[JohnQPublixx]

Fight for the Constitution, friend. When they get rid of that, it's all over. They are doing just that with the Patriot Act. WAKE UP

PEOPLE!

[dejahthoris]

That's the scariest person I have ever seen and she looks like she bites the heads off babies

[Kripotkin]

the President's "constitutional perogotive"?

huh? was THAT what she was learning instead of 'the bay of pigs'? was she home schooled, or what? seriously, can this gal make change for a twenty?

[BlueTunisia]

Go Ron Paul! You need to find out about him. It's important to America. Google Ron Paul.

Ron Paul 08!!!

[jbreezes]

Does she even have a brain of her own. She looked like she was reading the answer as if she /they already knew what the question will be.  Another example of media control/manipulation? Reminds me of the news where every station has the same stories--writers.

[alnewberry]

Constitutional prerogatives? What constitution is she reading?

[garvess]

The press secretary's job title should be changed to bullshit engineer.

[gimpusmons]

Take those flags down. This administration is filled with crooks and traitors.

[JohnQPublixx]

and the pimps are in Congress...

[TrevorJNoyes]

The next step is VOTE RON PAUL

[hypnofan35]

The obvious next step is water-boarding,followed by, impeachment, and then imprisonment for all the unbelievable crimes the president and "his people" have committed. Stealing the election was probably traitorous, then 911 and and all the subsequent coverups and lies with a coup de tat. Then the war in Iraq an assassinating their president, then screwing over all the citizens of the United States and creating an evolving facist state.

[BOYTOYS72]

With this president and big business influence in our "Free" system it's over! Just stamp a star, hammer and sickle smack dab in the middle of the Stars and Stripes. Hitler, Stalin and Lenin utilized Executive order to destroy their enemies; this president is doing the same!

[universe44]

Perino doesn't know what comes next. How about this? We send a federal marshal down to the White House and put a few of the traitors in handcuffs. Hope we have handcuffs in Dana's size...

[CitizenWorm]

It would be the capital hill police, who were established for situations just like this in which the executive branch refuses to enforce citations. There's even a jail cell in the basement of the capital that hasn't been used since the 30's.

poor thing is as thin as the tissue of lies she is spinning [anarexia?][neovosa?]

[crazycatfguy]

I am surprised the poor thin woman can support the weight of her huge gaudy necklaces.

[Bolgernow]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bush raping a black woman, while snorting the ashes of dead burnt babies, standing on mountain of stolen money yelling "Executive privilege!!!"...

[alnewberry]

Best Comment Ever.

[bigge525]

Instead of all the polite nonsense, how about

a little honesty for once Dana? Like, why

not just stick your middle finger up at us

since this is what you and the

cowboy-an-chief really mean anyway?

[checked08]

She's falling apart, hahaha.

[plsureking]

the corruption of america is complete.

[mikemidcity]

"Resistance is futile, the Congress is toothless. and we are out of here before it gets to the rigged Courts so piss off."

[dafttool]

We need stem cell research just so that we can learn how to grow a backbone in the Dems. It's long past time our representatives take back our government from these bullying criminals that occupy the White House.

[bicyclethief]

I love how evoking executive privilege has become a blanket check for the White House to protect any and all internal ethic or law violations.

[grazon]

Futile is it?

Then it shouldn't bother you when Rove gets slapped with it.

[cityview1989]

(cough)LIAR!(cough)

[eincali]

This is the ultimate "Reality TV"...

I can't wait to see what tomorrows episode brings.

The Bush Crime Family is at it again.

[intarwebzz]

absolutely. i used to not really enjoy watching these, but dana's amateurishness combined with the high-tech germany 1933 setup really makes the white house press conference something worth checking out.

[foley15136]

What Constitution?

[getplaning]

Bush was not personally involved with the firings, which negates the White House's claim to executive privilege and/or immunity.

The committee did not come down along party lines — Sens. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) crossed over and joined Dems in the contempt citations. Kudos to both of them for putting the Senate's interests above Bush's.

[Weaseldog2001]

It is nice of her to admit that Bush's Eunuch's in the Justice Department will not betray their Master by practicing ethics.

Finally she is being honest.

[SLAVEforLISA]

So much for the CREDIBILITY of the NEW Justice Department leadership.

[QuasiEvilScott]

Well rest assured they didnt start with much. Not a big loss.

-Qes

[wiskawind]

It wouldn't be futile if this were a democracy but Bush and his Republican henchmen have turned OUR country into a friggen Banana Republic.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Abraham Lincoln

[greatbroad]

I agree the US has become a Banana Republic, but I think it goes way before George W. Bush. W is just the cherry on their sunday, in my opinion. JFK smelled the rats and began to do something about them and look what happened to him: an example of secret government power.
