Bush made a big mistake in nominating Pickering. It's as if he wants to reinforce the Democrat message on Lott. Bush doesn't make too many POLITICAL mistakes but this is one.

No. Endorsing politically correct smears only furthers the opposition. This was a good "right back at'cha " move.

Why? It follows the same Bush doctrine of making the dims knee-jerk and expose themselves and overplay their hands; again, and again, and again....... I think it is brilliant.

You must have gotten your DNC talking points memo this morning.

Pickering is not a racist. To cave on him because of the Lott fiasco would not be what Bush is about.

Other than emboldening the left, what mistake was there in nominating Pickering?

I disagree. IMO Bush is
(A) following up on the apparent abandonment of Mississippi's Lott with support of another of their own
(B) refuting any "racism" tendencies
(C) forcing the Dem's hand exposing them to Racism charges
(D) challenging them and setting HIS agenda not their's.
