WH lying yet again

Perino repeats her ‘do-nothing Congress’ canard.

President Bush recently issued a signing statement disregarding parts of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act. Finally reporting on Bush’s move today, the Los Angeles Times notes that Bush issued signing statements less often in 2007. White House Press Secretary Dana Perino claims it is because “2007 was the do-nothing Congress.” As ThinkProgress has noted, Perino’s “do-nothing” charge is baseless. The 2007 Congress had 11 more bills signed by the President than did the 2006 Congress.
