Bush: Rove, Miers Should Testify Privately Over Attorney Firings
Setting up a possible legal showdown, a testy Bush vowed he would go to court to rebuff congressional orders "dragging White House members up there to score political points."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House and Congress clashed on Tuesday over President George W. Bush's power to keep close advisers like Karl Rove from testifying under oath about the firing of U.S. prosecutors.
Setting up a possible legal showdown, a testy Bush vowed he would go to court to rebuff congressional orders "dragging White House members up there to score political points" during what he described as "show trials."
"Absolutely, I hope the Democrats choose not to do that. ... We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition," Bush said at the White House. He also offered fresh confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose resignation has been demanded by Democrats and some Republicans.
Recent disclosures about the firings of eight U.S. attorneys has ignited a firestorm over whether the prosecutors were pushed out for political reasons and prompted calls for Gonzales to resign.
The White House earlier on Tuesday offered to make Rove available to congressional investigators probing the firings but rejected Democratic demands he testify under oath.
Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, rejected the offer after discussing it with White House counsel Fred Fielding.
""I don't accept his offer. It is not constructive and it is not helpful to be telling the Senate how to do our investigation, or to prejudge its outcome," he said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, denounced it as well, charging the administration has offered "a bunch of different stories" about why the prosecutors were fired last year.
"Congress and the American people deserve a straight answer," Reid said. "If Karl Rove plans to tell the truth, he has nothing to fear from being under oath like any other witness."
SUBPOENAS CONSIDERED
Democrats described Fielding's offer as unsatisfactory, saying they want the witnesses under oath. But they also said they would consider it before formally responding.
"It is sort of giving us the opportunity to talk to them, but not giving us the opportunity to get to the bottom of what really happened here," said Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat. "In that way, it is a pretty clever proposal."
"We are considering that option, but not for closing any other option, including compelling testimony via subpoena," Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez of California said.
Sanchez's Judiciary subcommittee plans to vote on Wednesday on whether to authorize subpoenas of Rove and four other past and present administration members, including former White House counsel Harriet Miers. Miers initially was blamed for coming up with the idea of firing all 93 U.S. attorneys after Bush's re-election in 2004.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is to vote to authorize subpoenas on Thursday. It is particularly interested in Rove because his former aide was named to replace one of the prosecutors fired last year.
Fielding also offered Miers, deputy White House counsel William Kelley and political adviser Scott Jennings.
Critics charge the administration dismissed the prosecutors to make room for its allies or because it felt some were too tough on Republicans and not tough enough on Democrats.
Recently released documents showed the prosecutors were judged on such factors as their effectiveness as well as their loyalty to the administration and support of its initiatives.

For 28% of Americans, who “support” G. W. Bush, it’s their “values” to have a President who lies incessantly, who is a liar, lying on the environment, on Global Warming, on everything! Why do we have a president who always lies, is a thief, a corruption, a terrorist, a “fraudist,” treasonous (duplicity, subversion, betrayal, treachery, disloyalty, sedition), a serial murderer (killer, assassin, slayer, slaughterer, executioner, contract killer)!
Is it the values of Americans!!!???

And George H. W. Bush has let G. W. do what ever he wants to do!
They bring death & destruction to men, women, & children, to Iraq, & to us all!
We have this mano-maniacal “chimpanzee” killing us (all), & destroying Democracy, & wiping us out!
How did we elect Bush; he’s such an embarrassment!
Joe Lieberman is not a “Democrat,” nor was he ever! I don’t know what Al Gore saw in LIEberman!
G. W. Bush doesn’t read his “Presidential Daily Briefing’s;” he doesn’t read anything; that’s not “liberal,” it’s not “republican;” it’s FACT! Bush is too busy shooting/siphoning (up/in) his alcohol & drugs! He has no brains (brain-damaged, confused, addled), & he’s a drug-addict!
He’s psycho-pathic, & socio-pathic;! As a kid, he tortured animals! He’s a part of a “bigger picture,” a “New World Order;” he has his own agenda, & if you don’t like it, “damn you!”
“Christian soldiers” aren’t engrossed/attracted in/to the “Prince of Peace” (Jesus Christ); they’ve made “militarization of Christianity” their god, a bible in one hand, and (WMD, nuclear weapons, & guns) in the other hand!
The Bush Administration is nothing but Neo-Fascist idiots!
Bush has lost it, now; he can’t even try to be tough, any longer, & he can’t (even) strut (in his arrogance), to any further extent!
Our nuclear weapons policy is “insanity;” The Bush Administration perceives our nuclear weapons & WMD “as a source of strength!”
The press/journalists are hostile & cynical, now:
since Bush utters/shouts that he will battle subpoenas, &
that he is above reproach (criticism, censure, reprimand, blame, accusation,
reproof, scolding, rebuke), &
that Bush doesn’t want anyone in his Administration testifying under oath!
Now, Bush knows that this is the beginning of the end of his Administration!
The Bush Administration is guilty of obstruction of justice, perjury, & contempt of Congress, nowadays (as usual)!
Bush says he’ll fight/wrestle any attempts for subpoenas!
There’s “no clear reason” why the Elite 8 Attorney’s were fired!

The You Tube video of Hillary Clinton, with The Obama website (at the end of the video) is, likely, Karl Rove (Republican National Committee), swift vote group orchestrated (arranged, coordinated, devised)! It’s from the bowels (intestines, guts, entrails, innards, insides) of the RNC, trying to smear/smudge/blotch Clinton & Obama!
To see the video, go to www.billpressshow.com, click onto photos, & watch the
Hillary Clinton video!
The video is a takeover of the 1984 Big Brother movie; goose-stepping marchers in the background; a copy of the Apple emblem! There’s a conspiracy, here! This campaign is going to be dirty; this is just the beginning! If the RNC is doing this, now, what’s it going to be like 6 months from now!!!???
“I hope they don’t choose confrontation!” – G. W. Bush, referring to the Democrats
“They’re trying to score political points rather than facts or the truth!” – G. W. Bush, on Democrats
Well, the Bush Administration doesn’t want to speak the truth or the facts! Give
it (reality, genuineness, substance, validity) up, & we’ll (all) know all
about it!
They (the Bush Administration) play “politics” with the Federal Judiciary, Justice structure/system, & the unfettered power to investigate corruption!
They’re scared of the truth (accuracy, facts, precision)!
3.20.7
“The proposal that I put forward is the proposal!” – G. W. Bush
Bush is going to stand by his man, Alberto Gonzales, for as long as they can (which – unfortunately – for the American people, the next 18 months)! Bush is going to drag this on, as he holds onto Gonzales! Bush is going to say that it’s a “political vendetta!” The real story is Karl Rove, Harriet Myers, & Bush, himself! The President of the United States is involved, totally (thoroughly, fully, absolutely, entirely, completely, perfectly)!

World’s Largest Grassroots Diet Education Campaign
Cattle are guilty/responsible for about 4% of the “breaking wind” Methane emissions in the air we breathe!
Animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gas emissions than automobiles.
Animal waste and feed cropland dump more pollutants into our waterways than all other human activities combined.
Meat-based diets require 10-20 times as much land as plant-based diets– nearly half of the world's grains & soybeans are fed to animals.
What is Global Warming?
Global warming is brought on by emission greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide and the much more potent methane and nitrous oxide. These gases trap the sun’s heat in our atmosphere creating a greenhouse effect.
Global warming threatens planetary survival through destruction of wildlife habitats, flooding of coastal communities, and extreme weather conditions. Melting glaciers deny habitats to polar bears and seals. The resulting rise in ocean levels will flood low-lying coastal communities like New York and New Orleans. Warming of ocean waters intensifies hurricanes and droughts that cause extensive property damage and destroy soil productivity.
Meat Consumption & Global Warming
Most of us blame automotive and industrial emissions for global warming, and rightly so. But animal agriculture is an even bigger culprit. Livestock farming contributes carbon dioxide from burning forestland to create animal pastures and from combustion of fossil fuels to operate farm machinery, factory farms, transport vehicles, and slaughterhouses. It releases methane from the digestive tracts of cattle and nitrous oxide from animal waste cesspools.
According to a new report published by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the livestock sector generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent -- 18 percent -- than transport.
Says Henning Steinfeld, Chief of FAO’s Livestock Information & Policy Branch and senior author of the report: “Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems. Urgent action is required to remedy the situation.” With increased prosperity, people are consuming more meat and dairy products every year. Global meat production is projected to more than double from 229 million tons in 1999/2001 to 465 million tons in 2050, while milk output is set to climb from 580 to 1043 million tons.
