Then:

    QUESTION: What is the president’s opinion of a request by Republican leaders in the House to launch an investigation of Sandy Berger’s involvement in the removal of classified documents from the National Archives?

    SNOW: There were questions last week, about investigations involving Republican members. Members of Congress have their own oversight obligations. They may proceed as they wish. They’re a separate and co-equal branch of government and I’m not going to tell them what they can and can’t do.

Now:

    There’s another principle, which is Congress doesn’t have the legislative — I mean oversight authority over the White House. [CNN, 3/22/07]

    First, the White House is under no compulsion to do anything. The legislative branch doesn’t have oversight. [MSNBC, 3/22/07]

    Congress doesn’t have any legitimate oversight and responsibilities to the White House. [Fox, 3/22/07]

As long as the Congress goes after Democrats, the White House is OK with that. When they go after the current Republican regime, suddenly they have no "oversight authority over the White House."

I wonder about this , Sandy Burger does seem to be getting off very light .


Who exactly is responsible for bringing him in?

[BT]

Congress could bring him in as part as a security investigation of the National Archives.

Justice can certainly investigate further if they choose.

To the best of my knowledge Sandy Berger has no protection under Executive Privilege and the rant by the left coaster which Lanya was kind enough to provide us is nonsense disguised as a strawman.

I also notice that Josh Marshall is heavily flogging this story and his track record gives me some solace. The man never gets it right.

BT, I have a You Tube question that I don't want to make a new thread for. Do you mind?
This program, TubeMe, is a download that I saw in PCworld magazine, and it says you "insert" some of the you tube link into it and it will save it to your hard drive. I don't understand how or what to do.

And my favorite Rolling Stones song, one of the old blues written by Robert Johnson "Love in Vain" ...it's gone from You Tube.  The best version, gone.

That is a great version, thanks! 
The one I had bookmarked was from 69 or 71, can't remember. But this is very good.
 I had never heard that song before.   (How did I live?!)
