Power Line reminds us today of the reaction when George H. W. Bush spoke to school children in 1991. They cite a Washington Examiner article by Byron York that chronicles the events. According to Byron York:
"Democrats, then the majority party in Congress, not only denounced Bush's speech -- they also ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue."
They eventually concluded that he had done nothing illegal, but spent a lot of taxpayer money coming to that conclusion. My how times have changed.
