A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos) - 2.15.05
Yahoo.com, Whitehouse.gov | 2.15.05 | ohioWfan

The President had no formal appearances today, but in a 98-0 decision, nominee Michael Chertoff was confirmed as the new Secretary of Homeland Security by the Senate. President Bush signed a declaration that Ohio is a major disaster area due to a severe ice storm, heavy snow flooding and mudslides (it's still a mess here!). First Lady Laura Bush spoke today at the 2005 Community College National Legislative Summit in Washington.

The Dems are on the run and losing ground. It's a GREAT Day to be a Bushbot, so ENJOY your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose!!

Chertoff earned a reputation as a tough investigator of President Clinton's Arkansas business dealings when he served as chief counsel to the Senate Whitewater committee in 1994-96. No charges were ever filed against the president or Hillary Rodham Clinton, now a Democratic senator from New York. She said Tuesday that his nomination "merits careful consideration."

Can't remember who watched Amazing Race, but tonight Dr. Phil has a special on romance on TV, and he's going to have the couple that fought horribly during the whole race. Looks like it will be a good special--there are other couples on, too.

Too many busy days. I'm counting down to the weekend of the 26th when Mr. apples and I go away to stay at a B&B with another couple and attend a civil war ball.

Hi there all. Homemom, maybe you should complain about the dose contributing to global warming with those pics!

Thanks for the picture you posted today of the Liz and the Cheney granddaughters today, snugs. It was just lovely.

So, what was the President doing on the 11th? Gonna have to do a little digging...

The only public appearances that day were the ceremonial swearing in of Mike Leavitt as the new HHS secretary. It was at the HHS building, I think. Then, that night, the President and First Lady hosted the "Lincoln: Seen and Heard" performance in the WH. So if the photo was taken on the 11th (Yahoo captions have been known to be wrong -- a lot), the photo must have been from one of those appearances.

If Specter's on the judiciary committee, and Chertoff's been DOJ, maybe a conflict of interest?

Only in Scottish law...
