William B. Cowen and Michael J. Bartlett to the National Labor Relations Board.

Oooh....this will make the libs howl!

[anniegetyourgun]

You bet - that last little embedded line is hot stuff!

[Howlin]

Tell me why. And should I be happy about that?

[pushforbush]

Yes, the liberals will howl, but they will get no traction with the media. This is big, big news. Bush is a fighter who can keep a low profile to avoid being tagged as "partisan" by the electorate.

Bush Makes Recess Appointment to SEC

Excerpt:

Bush appointed Cynthia A. Glassman, a principal at the Big Five accounting firm Ernst & Young. She worked at the Federal Reserve Board from 1977 to 1986 as economist and senior economist and in other positions.

He also reappointed Isaac C. Hunt Jr., a Democrat appointed to the SEC by former President Clinton in 1996.

Bush made the appointments just a day before the opening of the second session of the 107th Congress.

In other recess appointments Tuesday, Bush named:

_Deborah Matz and JoAnn Johnson to the board of the National Credit Union Administration.

_William B. Cowen and Michael J. Bartlett to the National Labor Relations Board.

Tell me why.

In a word, BECK.

And should I be happy about that?

YES!

[kassie]

Ya gotta love it!!

But....but....I thought Bush wasn't a Conservative. I am so confused! :o)

[sinkspur]

I wonder if Cynthia Glassman is related to James Glassman, author of DOW 36,000 and an economist with Barron's (I think).

He also hosted a version of Crossfire on a Sunday night for a few months.

I only wish he had made other recess appointments like Eugene Scalia....but I think that one might have been too politically "hot."

[america-rules]

Do you live under a rock?

[Utah Girl]

I thought President Bush did recess appoint Eugene Scalia and Otto Reich. And the Dems promptly had kittens over that fact.

[Unknown Freeper]

I thought he had appointed Scalia and Reich on 1/12.

[Miss Marple]

What an excellent question! I did a short Google search but couldn't find a connection.

[pushforbush]

He did make those appointments, and the fact that you didn't hear any liberal howls shows how little traction the liberals have on this issue. That's why the second wave of recess appointments will be seen as old news by the electorate.

For good info on Beck: www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/604617/posts Sorry I don't know how to link.

[Jean S]

I did some searching too. I couldn't find anything either.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks for that link! Now I understand. I would say Hoffa is spinning in his grave - but in that concrete suit, I doubt it. . .
