Good, dammit. It shows that Bush has some balls and will stamd up to the dims and up for what he believes.

I couldn't agree more. Pickering wasn't a racist before Trent Lott's blunder, and he's not one now. Some of the chattering class was predicting President Bush wouldn't dare re-nominate Pickering, giving the black caucus and NAACP another chance to play the race card against republicans. Hot damn! Once again President Bush stands on principle.

Indeed! A ballsy move. Ya gotta luv it!

Yep, big brass ones.
