Typical

As is his wont, President Bush made three recess appointments of nominees Congress had already told the White House were non-starters. Today's NY Times has a rather ... let's just say "charitable" view of the appointments.

On its face, President Bush’s decision to use the Congressional recess to fill three administration posts with appointees Senate Democrats had vowed to block — including a man who helped finance attacks against John Kerry’s war record in the 2004 presidential race — was a puzzler. ...

The recess appointments helped put the White House where it likes to be: in a robust fight with the Democrats that even the president’s most dispirited backers can get excited about. As one administration official put it, “It allows us to get our footing back, at least, on issues that resonate with the public.” [Emphasis added]

Oh, please.

If this president, a craven coward and an unmitigated bully, actually wanted a robust fight with the Democrats, he would have fought with them where it counted, on the Congressional floor. If he had chosen that venue, however, he might have had to sweeten the deal and done a little negotiating, something he loathes. Instead, and in character, he scurried off to the pig farm and issued his presidential decrees.

And as to that comment that these appointments are something "that resonate with the public," I call bull manure. Frankly, the public doesn't really care who the new ambassador to any country is.

That the main street press continues to perpetuate these lies never ceases to amaze me. I keep waiting for at least some of these yahoos to wake up to the real George W. Bush, the cowardly lying little dictator wannabe.

Happy frickin' Easter.
