Bush to Congress: Up Yours!

The White House told Congress to stick it where the sun don't shine when two congressional committees issued subpoenas for documents relating to the firing of U.S. attorneys. Is anyone surprised?

Excerpt from Yahoo News:
Bush's attorney told Congress the White House would not turn over subpoenaed documents from former presidential counsel Harriet Miers and former political director Sara Taylor. Congressional panels want the documents for their investigations of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' stewardship of the Justice Department, including complaints of undue political influence.

The Democratic chairmen of the two committees seeking the documents accused Bush of stonewalling and disdain for the law, and said they would press forward with enforcing the subpoenas.
