None of that explains why Fox was nominated in the first place...... simply to give the loathsome 'Rats an opportunity to smear the SwiftBoat Vets and hit the WH with a smackdown?? Where was the vetting of the candidate - this was an obvious issue for the Defeatocrats, and if the WH was willing to nominate the man then they should have gone into this with their eyes open, ready to fight for his confirmation. This is not the sort of case where some obscure, unexpected issue materializes out of nowhere.
Maybe it is all
Rove jiu jitsu-- Let the 'Rats
impeach Bush and then
let Hillary spend
eight years as vice president
and then eight more years
as president and
then the Republicans will
really start fighting!

Actually, the administration should dig up every person and issue that they think the dems would have a hissy fit over and bombard the bastards with everything all at once just to demonstrate to the public what the democrat game is all about and then fight them over every single one...no quarter given.
