"Surely they wouldn't..."

...is not an operative phrase when talking about the Bush White House. Their list of outrages, both petty and grand, grows daily. An example? This item plucked from Kicking Ass, the DNC blog...

"The Bush White House, irritated by pesky questions from congressional Democrats about how the administration is using taxpayer money, has developed an efficient solution: It will not entertain any more questions from opposition lawmakers."

It seems that no matter how outrageous the notion, when you apply it to the Bushistas, the answer is always "Yes, they would."
