So, can I pull a Bush/Rove/Myers/Palin, and refuse to respond
to a subpoena, if ever I got one?

I mean, if they can thumb their noses as the judicial system, why can't the rest of us? :shrug:

3. As Obama likes to say, we have seen this movie before
It is called "Delay, delay, delay." All the Republicans have to do is stall this issue for 50 days until McCain/Palin "win" the election and the whole issue will be a moot point. After all, what lowly State legislators will stick their political necks out to subpoena the Vice-President elect?

We saw this play come out of Fred Fielding's playbook when Miers and Rove refused to respond to their subpoenas. What happened then?

4. It really pisses me off. I know damned well I couldn't get away
with that, any more than anyone else in the Great Unwashed Masses.

But the really crooked Repukes?

Hell, they all just skate away.

7. depends on the job and whether the interviewer has your political leaning and a good sense of humor!
Honestly, I had an annual job review recently and was thinking, hmmm, can I use some GOP dodging techniques to avoid tough questions? I went with honesty about everything instead, good and bad. I'm a Bidenite :)

8. I'm going for the "Fuck you, I know more about this than anyone in the room" approach.
That's sure to be a winner right?
