Brilliant indeed! Impeccable timing! Bush Politics!

To appoint Pickering prior to the dems Iowa cauci and on the eve of the upcoming SOTU speech and it's a Friday surprise! This shifts the media attention back towards the conservatives and takes the shine off any dem politics.

Focus will be on the dem's comments of Bush's reccess appointment and away from any other issues. The press will be asking the candidates for a reaction to Bush's appointment and all the attention on other issues just disappears. That's politics. A 'stirring' of the coals, so to speak. The libs are going to go out of their minds and President Bush is just ensuring that they stay grounded in their 'absurdity'.

Next up . . . Bork. Hmmm. . . Let's see, when is the NEXT dem caucus. . . ?

so all weekend the Dems get to trash Pickering, than Bush can address the issue of judicial obstruction during his SOTU speech. Brilliant strategery!
