Oh, goodie….
In a concession to Republicans, House Oversight Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) has promised to ask the National Archives for documents relating to President Bill Clinton’s Office of Political Affairs.
As a result, a Democratic push to investigate the activities of former White House senior adviser Karl Rove and other aides to President Bush could mean fresh scrutiny and publicity for long-forgotten meetings and presentations during the Clinton administration.
So says Mike Allen at The Politico [1]
Yeah, well forgive me, Mike, but this strikes me as about as fair as the sheep finally being granted an investigation of the wolves and their long-term abuses. It also strikes me that enough documentation went out by way of the Sandy Berger Pantsleg Express, that such investigations even if above board, would reveal nothing anyway. And trust me, if he’s agreeing to it, it’ll cost him nothing.
The bottom line, here: Waxman gets to make himself out as being ‘fair and open’ when he’s nothing of the kind.
