Very nice summary of the relationship between Bush and the 9/11 Commission so far (via Calpundit/WM):

the road to surfdom: Here Comes the Sun-King

• He tried to block the formation of the commission
• Failing, he then appointed a patsy chairman, Henry Kissinger
• Then he refused to testify
• And he blocked them from getting key documents
• Then he agreed to talk with them
• But not under oath
• And only for an hour
• And only with the chair and deputy chair
• And then he insisted on having Cheney go with him
• And agreed to a single notetaker
• Then he refused to grant the commission a time extension
• Then he tried to stop Rice testifying
• And he blocked the release of papers from the Clinton era
• Then tried to stop the August 6, 2001 PDB being released
• Then he flip-flopped on the extension, Rice testifying, the Clinton papers and the PDB
• Then he ran ads saying Kerry was a flip-flopper
• Then he changed his mind about the notetaker
• And then he decided to have his legal counsel along

Query: Did Bush actually relent on the Clinton-era documents?

I thought they said a lot of relenting-sounding things, but in the end they only let a few more documents be seen by the committee (and not for long, at that). If anyone knows/remembers, feel free to speak up.

One more thing: the 'Sun-King' references people keep applying to Bush? Kind of obscure; and by 'obscure', I mean 'not likely to be effective'.
