Go figure.

Looks like President Bush's attitude is rubbing off on his cabinet members. Condoleeza Rice, will apparently refuse to reappear in court after being summoned by subpoena by Congress.

Now, granted she's sick of answering the same questions over, and over again, what type of example is she setting by choosing this course of action? Furthermore, who does she think she is believing she can just so easily dismiss an order to appear in court, from Congress nonetheless? I'm pretty sure if I was summoned and responded with a letter, I'd end up in a world of shit.

Its because of incidents like these, especially when they get out into the world media that the egos of these politicians get fed. One person does it and the next thinks its OK. It just so happens that in this case, the influence comes from teh President himself. If its ok for him to play the role of a stubborn fool, it must be ok for everyone else. After all, he is up at the top, so that just leaves the floor open to everyone.

Apparently, Rice even goes fo far as to contradict herself, knowingly no doubt by saying, "So, I think we have to observe and uphold the constitutional principle, but I also observe and uphold the obligation of Congress to conduct its oversight role, I respect that. But I think I have more than answered these questions, and answered them directly to Congressman Waxman."

Looks like we got another politician on the loose, and i dont think it will be the last.
