And he's threatening a "constitutional showdown" if Democrats insist on the truth.

"We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition aimed at honorable public servants," he said. "It will be regrettable if they choose to head down the partisan road of issuing subpoenas and demanding show trials when I have agreed to make key White House officials and documents available."

Interesting spin:

  • Testimony under oath = "show trials"
  • Spin bullshit as usual = "reasonable proposal"

Oh, and let's not forget "War is Peace" and "Ignorance is Bliss."

The Senate, meanwhile, voted to strip Gonzales of his authority to fill U.S. attorney vacancies without Senate confirmation.

Now there's a surprise. Are the Democrats starting to feel their oats?
