As the Wheel Turns

What goes around comes around.  Hardly a day goes by without Henry Waxman or Senator Depends mourning about the Bush administration lack of response to congressional subpoenas.

Well now the shoe, on the other foot.  It is congressmen who being subpoenaed.  How they responding?  Not very cooperatively says, Richard Simon [1] Los Angeles Times:

WASHINGTON — Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., and 12 House colleagues plan to fight subpoenas issued to them in the federal trial of a defense contractor accused of bribing jailed former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, R-Calif.

The subpoenas for the trial, due to start soon in San Diego, were issued to a bipartisan group of lawmakers by Mark Geragos, an attorney representing contractor Brent Wilkes.

C0me on Henry, is this the best your guys can do?
