LOL!!! I would say that was for good reason. I did hear today that Senator Frist was part of a small group that knew what was going on with the nomination.
VP Cheney was hilarious when he was talking about how the secret was kept -- not easy to do in that fishbowl!
"I think the Dems controlled the Senate both times. The pubs control it now. It won't die in committee...it'll have to be filibustered. If they don't, I'll never vote dem again."
" How much more right can we possibly get. Honestly canada is looking better all the time"
"Bush is just trying to distract the country from Rovegate. It won't work."
These people are beside themselves.
If I am not mistaken, Roberts was Frist's counsel so he would obviously be informed early about the final choice.
