I've held my position over a year now, since the Democrats ran roughshod over every "qualified" known quantity. The "nuclear option" was bantied about on our side to quash the Democrat filibuster tactic, and I was one of those who were screaming "PULL THE EFFING TRIGGER!!".
The missed opportunity is not Bush's fault, it's the fault of the Republican Senators who didn't bother to show up and fight.
PULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
It sure is Bush's fault, but yes, some blame goes to McCain and Lindsay Graham and the rest of the gang of 7.
