The Pubbies on the commission are old, worn out RINO's who just want to "get along". Bush made a mistake not appointing at least one pit bull who could bite back once the Rats started their partisan crap.

I don't believe that Bush directly appointed the members. It was more likely a congressional thing, iirc. But you are right about the Republican members, they are all toothless old guys who don't realize that politics is war for the Demos and they'll say and do anything to win. It was incredibly stupid of whoever appointed Kean to have picked such a weakling who is so easily pushed around.
