Stop the arguing children. Stop, step back and look at this.
The Bush people from day one knew this nominee would NEVER make it to first base. It was a head fake!
A ploy to confuse the liberals and timed to go done just when the special prosecutor was about to wrap up the CIA leak case. Look again and learn! Bush, Rove and company have done it again! The new nomination process takes away the endless drumbeat about the upcoming indictments.
I saw that nonsense today on a lefty site.
That is just not true and is a tinfoil excuse for what happened.
Bush was quite honest about that pick and it was not a Rove plot.LOL!
