Executive Privilege is a Dodge
Tip of the Hat
Tony Snow (yes that Tony Snow)
Taken to its logical extreme, that position would make it impossible for citizens to hold a chief executive accountable for anything. He would have a constitutional right to cover up... Most of us want no part of a president who is cynical enough to use the majesty of his office to evade the one thing he is sworn to uphold -- the rule of law. (of course he said this about Clinton)

Foot in mouth award to Tony Snow for only believing that upholding American values only counts 1/2 the time.
