President Obama is now claiming he doesn’t have to turn over Fast & Furious-related documents to Congress, citing “executive privilege” – sort of a presidential “get out of jail free” card that lets him do anything he wants.
I guess protecting your porch-snoozing watchdog of an Attorney General from the lengthy jail sentence he so richly deserves is a good reason to use it.
But why stop there?
Here’s some other situations he might be able to escape using Executive Privilege
______________

1) When accused of providing unaccountable odoriffic elevator flatus
2) Missed a 2-inch putt (previously known as a “Mulligan”)
3) Michelle’s tofu stew? Pfft! Off to Ray’s HellBurger for the Triple Bacon Executive Privilege special.
4) Reporter asks anything besides “After inheriting Bush’s economic mess and turning it into 7 million new jobs, how can you possibly get more awesome?”
5) Can’t figure out how to operate the self-serve touchpad at Wawa’s.
6) Burly Chinese guy with a crooked nose and forearms like hamhocks at the door saying “Mr. Hu requests his money.”
7) Michelle asks “does this dress make me look fat?” and you already shouted “YES!” because you weren’t listening and the Heat just won Game 2.
8) Damn bitter clingers find out you called them bitter clingers.
9) Morning after the bachelor party, and you can’t for the life of you remember where in Vegas you left the groom.
10) Unemployment still not below the 8% you promised your stimulus would never let it rise above.

Oh, and 57 states, Cominskey Field, Intercontinental Railroad, digging your way out this hole, like the Special Olympics, and corspe-men.

The picture of the card game could have the caption, “Ya got any jokers? – EXECUTIVE PRIVILEDGE!”
Now Obama shouts “EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE!” when he steals an extra puff on a joint.
When Michelle wants him to watch the latest Twilight movie with her.
And according to the Austrian Language… the words for “created or saved” are “Ach, du bist ein dummkopf!” which if spoken incorrectly can lead to Nixonian phlebitis… in the brain.
“Off to Ray’s HellBurger for the Triple Bacon Executive Privilege special.”
Ha! Amazing! Harvey, I’m going to steal that. It may even become my motto.
My submission (which ain’t nearly so good): “When asked to define ‘flexible'”.
Time to go Barry, the moving van is leaving and President Romney is expected at any moment. “Executive Privilege!!”
Does “Executive Privilege” end at the end of obma term. In other words, can Romney turn over what ever papers his staff can find and prosecute whoever?
#8 -RAML,
I think he could/should do that, right after they replace all the missing Rs on the White House keyboards and send in the fumigators.
Michelle: Is that it? You’re done? What about my needs?
Barry: Executive privilege baby. So is ESPN and a cigarette after sex, now hand me the clicker and a match.
(OK, that might be a legitimate use)
