But Don't forget we had to come down on the Administration like a ton of bricks to cure his Helen Meiers nomination.

As for the bot's claim that this was all part of GWB's master plan to smoke out the RATs and then jui-jitsu them with a switch in policy, I believe Bill Bennett has it right, that these were his real first choices and his preferences. Hence the clever machiavelli-maneuvering isn't what's happening, "they're just not that smart."
