[George W. Bush]

I'm going to beat you over the head with I TOLD YA SOs; if you're still here.

Put me on that bump list. I'll be honored to be bashed on the head by you when it happens.

Of course, I'm not sure what all the Roberts naysayers actually expect us to do about his nomination now anyway. I think the train has left the station.

There isn't a thing ANYONE HERE can do to derail Roberts' nomination ! It's a fete acomplee.

Many of the people here, who are the MOST strident about this, NEVER were Bush supporters and have complained, often bitterly, about every word, deed, and nonword or nondeed, for the past 5+ years. They say that they'll never vote for him again ( which is patently ridiculous, as he can't run for president again ! ) and/or that they'll never vote GOP again; which is also a stupid thing to say. Many are fringers and idiotically promote voting fringe I( they aren't even third party! )candidates.

Before Roberts got the nod and the hysterics here were throwing themselves on a pyre, screaming that it was going to be Gonzales, I kept telling them that they were damned dead wrong. They were and I was correct. I am also correct about Roberts. :-)
