General Pace called homosexuality "immoral", and for that Democrats wanted him crucified.
President Bush not only made him retire, but forced him to issue a statement that he "regretted" the remark.
Sigh.

Regarding General Pace, Wikipedia has this comment:
“In June 8, 2007, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced that he would advise the President not to renominate General Pace because of concerns about contentious confirmation hearings in the Democratic-controlled Congress.”
Beyond that, I believe Pace wouldn’t have been confirmed. The Senate has to confirm the appointment, you know. I was disappointed he didn’t get renominated, but there was no point in sending him to a hearing where he would be attacked and not be confirmed.
Regarding the auto funds, are you aware that the UAW is required to give concessions or the money has to be returned? The UAW is quite upset about it.
