Rep. Thomas M. Davis III, the Virginia Republican who chaired the oversight committee until Democrats took control of Congress in January, said the report was premature and speculative, and fell short of the standard for investigations.

"Everything about this report overreaches and prejudges," Mr. Davis said.
The e-mails originally were sought as part of the investigation into the firings of eight federal prosecutors last year, and also as part of a probe into White House officials' political presentations to nonpolitical federal agencies.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said that Democrats in Congress were "attempting to make old news new again."

"We indicated in April that we could have done a better job of having clearer policy and better oversight, and White House staffers could have done a better job at considering the need to preserve communications, and when they had questions they should have gone to the White House counsel," Mr. Stanzel said.

1. *sigh* Once again, we have the reported response from the Cons

and the WH. You'ld think the Democrats didn't utter a single sound between 2001-2007.

2. He's the guy who didn't do any oversight, right?

Which means that every day, Waxman makes him look like a horse's ass. Or, rather, an elephant's.
