That's interesting. Recommended to whom? Bush? Why would Bush have consulted with him?
The Bush Family and David Boren go back to when Bush #41 was President and Boren carried the water for the Clarence Thomas nomination. In fact, David Boren was who #41 went to for the Democrats. Boren was also Mr. Intelligence of the Senate and has been advising the President on Intelligence and Foreign Affairs matters since GW took office.
George Tenent spoke at the OU Graduation in 2004 and thanked Boren for being his "MENTOR!"
