WH says 1,000,000 docs handed over
by Mike Allen of Politico
...Although Democrats embarrassed the administration by probing
the firings of U.S. attorneys who had fallen from White House favor,
administration officials maintain that the various probes have done
little to hamper President Bush’s agenda.
“There are a number of dry holes that got drilled,” a senior
administration official said. “People don’t care about it. The public is
saying: Gas is at $3 a gallon. Is there any energy bill? No.”
The official even made sport of the Democrats’ approach, calling it
“purely reflexive.”
“People are having concerns with their mortgages,” the official said.
“Is there a mortgage bill? No. We have a government to fund. Is there
any appropriations bill? No.
“But, I’ve got a new subpoena for you today — and we’re going to
hold somebody in contempt. Doesn’t that help you?”
