Bush at the press conference today:

I will oppose any attempts to subpoena White House officials.

ThinkProgress points out that 31 of President Clinton's top aides testified before Congress on 47 different occasions.

In contrast, between 2000 and 2004, Bush allowed only one of his closest advisers, then–Assistant to the President for Homeland Security Tom Ridge, to appear in front of Congress. He has also refused three invitations from Congress for his aides to testify, a first since President Richard Nixon in 1972.

Not that anybody cares

If the Democrats don't drag Karl Rove in by his ears, and get rid of Rahm Emanuel I may be a man without a party!
