In a just-completed interview with former Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Garry Mauro and Republican consultant Ron Kaufman, Fox News host Page Hopkins stated that tomorrow's Time Magazine will report that President Bush is dissatisfied with some of his top advisers.
Specifically, there was speculation that Chief of Staff Andy Card [who played a key role in the Miers pick while Karl Rove was attending to his legal situation] could be moved out of his position and over to the Treasury Department.
As an aside, that Garry Mauro is an oily character, isn't he?
If Card was a big factor in the Miers pick he should be moved elsewhere. It was a big mistake.
What's his qualifications for Treasury? Formerly head of the Arabian Horse Assn.?
That's IT!
Card would inspire as much confidence at Treasury as he did with the inspired Miers pick.
It's well past time to throw that RINO Card overboard.
I'm sure Card is a decent guy, and he has received credit for having almost no ego, but I have criticized him regularly in FR threads. In his public appearances, I've never seen him do anything but artlessly mouth the talking points of the day. No creativity, no insight.
That's fine if your only role is to act as a gatekeeper. But if suddenly you have to step up, in Rove's absence, and provide front-line advice, it can lead to mistakes.
I believe Card was one of the guys responsible for Souter.
Only Bush knows for sure.
It was difficult
to endure, but in the end
I'm glad it happened.
It opened my eyes
as to just how lunatic
the Lunatic Right
actually is.
And how dangerous they are.
I won't forget it.
By the way, Fox News is reporting that the White House has announced that there will be no SCOTUS pick announcement tonight.
It seems silly to skip tomorrow because of Halloween, but does anyone doubt that the Barbara Boxers of the world would shamelessly step before a mike and proclaim something along the line "this is the worst Halloween trick the President could have played on the American people"?
Do you really have some background on Card backing Souter?
Is that some kind of free verse poetry?
Having checked out your home page, I have absolutely no problem with your taste in women. But your taste in Sup Ct justices apparently leaves a lot to be desired. Are you sure you wouldn't be more comfortable over at DU?
I believe that Mark Levin was too. So?
simply, by her showing her face and speaking on Holloween, would be horrrror!!!
GM is a dim, after all.
Take off that mask, Senator Boxer. You'll scare the children. uh,...sorry...
If this is true, tn that means Bush can't think for himself, especially in selecting anyone for the Supreme Court. Not to mention the person he selected he has known personally for 20 some years. This is a load of crap!
I guess getting his ass kicked in an election qualifies him as a Democrat spokesman.
