Some call it contempt of Congress

Others call it separation of powers.
DAVID ADDINGTON: I frankly don't know what you mean by unitary theory.
JOHN CONYERS: Have you ever heard of that theory before?
ADDINGTON: I see it in the newspapers all the time.
CONYERS: Do you support it?
ADDINGTON: I don't know what it is.
CONYERS: You're telling me you don't know what the unitary theory means?
ADDINGTON: I don't know what you mean by it.
CONYERS: Do you know what you mean by it?
ADDINGTON: I know exactly what I mean by it.
Karl Rove can barely aspire to such contemptuousness.
