Dan Froomkin recently noted that Bush "criticized the congressional investigation for 'taking a long time. It's going to -- kind of being drug out, I suspect, for political questions -- political reasons.' It takes a lot of chutzpah to stonewall -- and then blame the investigators for a delay."

Circumvent truth-finding wherever and whenever possible, repeatedly ignore requests by these congressional investigators to the point where subpoenas are threatened, only to then blame those in Congress who have the near-impossible task of trying to pound some honesty out of an extremely uncooperative administration. It goes well beyond sheer chutzpah to downright galling.
