I think he's out providing and maintaining a navy or something

I noticed this yesterday during a quick Google News scan:

The 10-member [9-11 investigation] panel had invited [National Security Adviser Condoleeza] Rice to testify. She declined, with the White House citing concerns about separation of powers.

What the fuck? Do they even bother trying to find good excuses for their cover-ups anymore? Or did they just chop the Constitution into random phrases that they draw out of a bucket? “Oh, sorry, President Bush can’t testify because, um, no person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years.”

She can testify if she chooses. But none of her choices are appealing:

1. Lie and risk having Martha Stewart as a roommate
2. Tell the truth and have no job, many powerful enemies and no friends
3. Become the designated biggest-whopper-teller on the caht shows while claiming to not have time for the Commision, then be the fall guy when some of the nonsense becomes untenable even with Faux spinning as best it can.
