I don't know 'STHU', but I like Hayden. He and Poindexter have developed data mining. Sure, I'd like Ollie North, but if the President trusts him, and he has a good background (he has), I trust him. I have no idea what Hoekstra is up to, and Arlen Specter is Arlen Specter.
We know what Spector is up to -- btw -- has he thanked Bush for his seat and his chairmanship
Please don't misunderstand, I defended Harriet Miers to the bitle end. Fought with Levin over it even. But both sides were in panic mode before the President even made the pick. Can I say I am tired of all these clowns, both sides bashing everything he does. WANT TO MAKE THE PICKS? WIN THE OFFICE!

IMHO, Hayden was a brilliant choice. The fireworks is going to create an interesting side show for a few months.
