Getting closer!!!

The more the Republicans ham and haw and hesitate, the more we encourage the Democrats to obstruct.

But...but there's no bias at the Times. They don't chose which side of the issue to be on based on what favors dems; it's just a careful rethinking of their position. LOL, I'm cracking myself up.

Weeks ago, I predicted President Bush might throw a real monkey wrench into the Democrats plan to filibuster his Supreme Court nominees. I predicted Bush just might nominate Joe Lieberman. Because he's been such a loyal supporter on Iraq, because he's a devout believer in God, because he's often a very reasonable senator. How would senate democrats handle that surprise nomination?? But wait!

Now I'm thinking President Bush just might remember how hard Orin Hatch has been campaigning for the Supreme Court with just this kind of idiocy, sugggesting Ruth Bader Ginsberg!! That's such an obvious ploy for favor from the left, which is how Hatch has been operating for decades. He delivers a scathing indictment of some liberal action, then winds down by diluting the points he's made with wishy washy wuss words. Hatch is your basic CYA "On the other hand" kind of politician.
