Rep. Darrell Issa said he was not showing partisanship by opposing President Obama’s use of executive privilege on the release of “Fast and Furious” documents, despite not protesting President Bush’s use of executive privilege during his term.

“Ultimately, I respect executive privilege if it’s top executives speaking or preparing to the president,” Issa told me on “This Week” this morning. “But in this case, the president has already said – and the attorney general under oath has said – t hey weren’t communicating.”

What did the pResident know, and when did he know it?

He not only knows nothing, he suspects nothing...

[Gaffer]

So? So what if it is partisanship?

The are there right now to one thing only, stop Obama from getting anything done, and do everything in their power to get him removed from office as soon as possible.

This is what Democrats have done all along. It is nothing new in the scheme of things. Screw them and they mouths they spew this crap claim from.

...and Scooter Libby being thrown in the slammer was neither partisan nor a witch hunt.

So? So what if it is partisanship?

Exactly. I notice "partisanship" is only problematic when Republicans do it (and that's even when the accusations are valid, which is rarely, since the Pubsters are so gutless).
