"And whomever recommended him for the job is undoubtedly on the DNC payroll."

hmmmm. Down here in Texas we have our doubts about his Mom (Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn).

Isn't she the one that's running against Perry? Also, is Scott's brother in the administration ?

Tell me more about Ms. Strayhorn, please. It was noted when Scott took this thankless job that he was a friend of the family.

My greater thought is that Andy Card had some extra influence of late (in Rove's distraction w/Plame). He reportedly pushed Miers, (and probably got Laura to second the motion.) My guess is that Chief of Staff Card idea's have been shown to fail. (there was talk that Card once pushed SC Justice Breyer years ago)

Whatever, or whomever, there has clearly been some screwy thinking going on lately. With Plame basically behind us, here's hoping we get back on the right track.
