Scott Bloch was a Bush appointee.
Bush's biggest problems arose when he hired these wishy washy 'moderate' types... in the mistaken belief their 'progressive' positions would endear Bush to OTHER moderates and Democrats.
Think: Colin Powell, Harriet Myers, Scott McClellan, etc.
All ended up becoming wimps and turncoats.
Well, not so much Harriet Myers -- but she was AWFUL anyway.
He turned to the dark side.
