Okay, I don't have any idea how many subpoena's Henry Waxman has issued trying to get information from the Bush Administration, but its a bit beyond the pale for the (hard) Right Hon. Dan Burton (R-IN) to bitch about how Democrats, Waxman specifically, are abusing their subpoena power.
If memory serves, Indianapolis' favorite cranky cousin made a name for himself as the head of the Government Oversight and Reform committee during the Clinton years where he not only showed himself a thorough investigator by taking 140+ hours of testimony on whether the White House Christmas list had been used for political purposes, but also personally reenacted the "suicide" of Vince Foster using a watermelon and a .38. Not to be outdone, he also proceeded to issue nearly 1100 subpoenas of the Clinton White House which is probably a record in its own right since they all happened in Clinton's second four year term. Remember a month ago when there was an uproar about claims of executive privilege and how presidential aides never testify before Congress, yet there'd been something like 61 in the last 60 years? Well, at least 25 to 30 of those aides worked for Bill Clinton and me thinks most of them appeared at one time or other before Dan Burton's committee. Anyway, nothing to see here folks!
