Congressional oversight

Tony Snow

Take a look at what Tony Snow is now saying. I'm quoting from an article called "Snow Tells Fox Morning Show: Congress Has No Oversight Over White House":

Beating back the firestorm over the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, allegedly for prosecuting too many Republicans and not enough Democrats, must be high on the White House agenda because the Fox News morning show devoted a big chunk of its first hour to reinforcing GOP talking points. With videos.

The most striking part of the more than 10 minutes of coverage came when White House spokesman and former Fox News employee Tony Snow claimed, "Congress doesn't have any legitimate oversight responsibility on the White House."

No oversight of the White House? Congress has no right to check the president's actions? What a surprise to the framers of the Constitution that would be!

Lisa Casey of All Hat No Cattle asks, "Did a coup d'etat just happen?" That's my question as well.
