SIGNING STATEMENTS AND ASSERTIONS OF DICTATORIAL POWER

TURNING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INTO REPUBLICAN PARTY MACHINE
This was the big new story of 2007, and Congress does get some credit for stirring the dirt on this one. It turns out that most of the executive branch of the government now works for the Republican party. U.S. attorneys who had failed to grasp that fact were fired. Emails that exposed it were destroyed. State governors who got in the way became political prisoners. And an intellectually challenged Attorney General who could take orders but not remember what he’d had for breakfast was scared out of town after committing perjury on television. His bosses laughed and replaced him with a clone. Congress complied.

Not that Congress wasn’t very, very concerned. In fact, Rep. Henry Waxman alone destroyed a forest writing letters to the White House and publishing reports like this one:

By the end of 2007 I saw an editorial cartoon in the paper with holiday lights on the White House spelling out: “No Comment: Ongoing Investigation.” A man in the cartoon commented: “They just leave them up all year now.” These were some of the choice headlines from 2007 on the your-tax-dollars-pay-for-the-Republican-Party theme: Administration Withheld Emails About Rove
