I'm sorry, but after this week's series in the Post and the history of the administration of feeding complete bullshit to Congress (see Fredo's appearances before both the senate and house judiciary committees, the Katrina video, the WMD bunk, Scooter Libby lying to a grand jury to block the investigation into the Plame affair as a short list) accepting the Preznit's offer would be like thanking someone for handing you a blivet.

On a completely separate point, it's nice that the folks at Huffpo are now an AP distributor. Takes less hunting for real news minus what Paris Hilton had for lunch (which Yahoo can be pretty bad about).
