The records resulted from demands by congressional committees, most notably the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led by Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.).

The White House calculated that would create a stack 143 feet tall — twice the height of the White House, which is 70 feet tall. Snow said the documents were released in response to more than 300 congressional investigations or inquiries involving the Executive Branch.

Although Democrats embarrassed the administration by probing the firings of U.S. attorneys who had fallen from White House favor, administration officials maintain that the various probes have done little to hamper President Bush’s agenda.

“There are a number of dry holes that got drilled,” a senior administration official said. “People don’t care about it. The public is saying: Gas is at $3 a gallon. Is there any energy bill? No.”

The official even made sport of the Democrats’ approach, calling it “purely reflexive.”

“People are having concerns with their mortgages,” the official said. “Is there a mortgage bill? No. We have a government to fund. Is there any appropriations bill? No.

“But, I’ve got a new subpoena for you today — and we’re going to hold somebody in contempt. Doesn’t that help you?”

The main effect, the official said, was a distraction for the staff and countless hours of work for the White House counsel’s office.

About 100,000 were about climate change, officials said. Many of the documents are from the White House and its offices, including the Council on Environmental Quality.Click link below for full story and your dartboard bulls eye picture.

Waxman is the biggest POS Democrat out there. Total partisan hack.
