From today’s Daily Outrage at the Nation:

The White House fought for a year to prevent the very idea of a commission to investigate the 9/11 terror attacks, and even after he was forced to bow to public pressure George W. Bush has tried to hamstring it — from trying to put it under the leadership of Captain Truth himself, Henry Kissinger, to setting unreasonable deadlines for it to close down.

So as Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney and the President each have their days of testimony before the nation, remember this: When Republicans were after Bill Clinton, they saw fit to allocate $70 million to look into this one man’s business dealings and sexual escapades; the 9/11 commission, by contrast, has had to beg and scrape from the Administration to gather a budget of $15 million.

I’m so exhausted by this administration. I don’t want to sound like some shrill liberal, screaming and yelling about everything this administration does that is illegal, unethical or immoral — I mean, I lived through eight years of Reagan like that, but my God, have they no shame?

Other people have said this better than I have, but it really does seem that this administration just thinks it can do whatever it wants to do and then line up its apologists and just shrug it all off, no matter what the evidence against them says.
