Bush breaks the law and it's the Democrats' fault for not stopping him??

Walter Pincus includes this gem of a quote in his article about the appearances of Democrats Jane Harman and Tom Daschle and Republicans Pat Roberts and Peter Hoekstra on Meet the Press yesterday:

Hoekstra said if Democrats thought Bush was violating the law, "it was their responsibility to use every tool possible to get the president to stop it."

I'd like to believe this is an example of ÜberSpin, but, unfortunately, it's just par for the course...
