Bush nominating a radical theocrat judge like Roy Moore, I expected.
Bush nominating a moderate to claim some measure of political victory, I didn't expect, but wouldn't have been surprised at.
But Bush nominating someone based on sheer cronyism?? Whose judicial experience amounts to two years on the federal bench, three years as a Rhenquist aide, and several terms as a lawyer in the Reagan and Bush presidential cabinet???
Is Bush paying off campaign debts? Does he just want to make things soft for people he likes? Or is he maybe preparing the way for a Laura Bush '08 candidacy to get around Amendment XXII?
However you slice it, I'm appalled.
