I wonder Why...?

The Today show clip of Senator Feinstein declaring in committee that the WH is in a "bunker mentality," over the US Attorney non-scandal was a priceless moment. I was frankly speechless and the only thing that did come out finally was a question: I wonder why?

Why would the WH be defensive when Congress has spent 4 years criticizing it's performance in Iraq, blaming it for everything that went wrong in Katrina despite the miserable showings of the local and state officials in Louisiana? Why would the WH be defensive after 4 years of being labeled as liars over it's pre-war case for attacking Iraq, or for the way that men and women of the Senate and Congress have kept alive the "WH outed Valerie Plame" meme?

Congress is truly a gathering of the least self-aware people on the planet.
