Confirmation Process? Is there one?
Is it just me? The 'shake-up' at the White House continues; but no sooner than Monkey Boy shows up in the Rose Garden to tout yet another appointtee from the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and/or Poppy Administrations, there go Senate Democrats
praising the choice and streamlining the process. Then again, when is the last time anybody on Bush's cabinet actually did anything without the Rove okay? If the already-all-but-confirmed Wall Street insider Paulson is as effective as his two predecessors, I suppose we have little to worry about in this particular cosmetic change.
I know it's a stretch for me to expect anything other than another round of meaningless confirmation hearings, when we've already seen what happened with the Supreme Court nominees (other than that cypher Harriet Miers -- and it took a Republican rebellion to stop that noise). It would be nice if Senate Democrats would grow a set.
Man, November can't come quick enough.

yup...the chimp comes out and parades another Heckuva Job idiot and we wait for yet the next shoe to drop....I mean WHO was worst Brownie or Chertoff ??? Both so well chosen to truly fuck up and hurt people....
And the real kick in the pants was the fact the woefully underqualified Brownie actually DID try to alert the White House before Katrina hit, and was blithely ignored...
The administration that consistently snaches defeat from the jaws of victory.
