Straightshooting From Tony Snow

Here’s Tony on executive privilege:

But as the clock ticks, the public’s faith in (the President) will ebb away for a simple reason: 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.

You probably never thought you’d live to see the day. And you haven’t, of course. That was from 1998. The President in question was Bill Clinton.

Stand by for what emerges from Tony’s speech orifice when he addresses executive privilege now.
