When was the last time Steve Bannon took a shower? Wait — don't answer that. We don't really want to know, but every time we see a photo of him, he looks singularly... unkempt. That's putting it politely.
On the other hand, why be polite to a guy who is thumbing his nose at America by resisting a Congressional subpoena? As we recall, a subpoena leaves you with no choice: You show up. At least, that's what all those alleged Commies did, back in the Red Scare — they obeyed the law and testified. Some of them lost their livelihoods as a result. But clearly they respected American democracy more than these Trumpsters do.
(And let's not forget Hillary Clinton, who responded to a Congressional subpoena about Benghazi, and testified for 11 hours — during which the Republicans were unable to lay a glove on her. But we digress.)
So let's throw lots of purrs Joe Biden's way, for denying Benedict Donald's entreaty to shield the White House's records from the January 6 select Congressional committee. As we all know from Watergate days, executive privilege has its limits — especially if you're not the executive anymore.
As Republican Adam Kinzinger says: "We will not be deterred by those who want to obstruct our efforts to get answers for the American people.
Our democracy was attacked, and we have to ensure what happened on January 6 can never happen again." We cats PURR.
