Well, the President and Vice President paid their dues with the 911 Commission today. The headline from the wits at Fark.com said it best beforehand:
Bush and Cheney's turn to provide meaningless, unhelpful testimony before irrelevant committee of congressional idiots.
President Bush kept a straight face afterwards. Part of the news account from Reuters...
The commission of five Republicans and five Democrats issued a statement saying Bush and Cheney had been "forthcoming and candid" and their input would be of great assistance as it looks to complete a final report by July 26.Two Democrats on the panel, Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton and former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, left the session about an hour early. Hamilton, a former congressman from Indiana, was said to have had a prior commitment to introduce visiting Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin at a lunch.
...led the omniscient InstaPundit to sum it all up:
THE 9/11 COMMISSION IS MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING...If it's worth ditching the President's testimony for a luncheon introduction, the whole enterprise can't amount to much.
Yep.
