He's a longtime GOP insider, but he's not part of the circle of Bush worshippers like Karen Hughes, Karl Rove, and Miers.<BR/><BR/>Miers wouldn't have THAT much influence.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344649128973165027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603499.post-1128581660436814392005-10-06T02:54:00.000-04:002005-10-06T02:54:00.000-04:00There is an alternative (completely speculative) e...There is an alternative (completely speculative) explanation. It's possible that Bush has some skeleton in his presidential closet that's so bad we won't possibly be able to ignore it (as opposed to the ones that have just made us numb about his shamelessness). Maybe we caught bin Laden, but he tried to delay the public capture until a politically opportune moment and Osama got away, as a hypothetical example.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps something blatantly criminal occurred, and Bush is planning for the day when the news is going to leak and he'll face impeachment.<BR/><BR/>If he appoints the conservative elite to the court, they may swing the same way as the GOP as a whole... which might be to essentially disown him. If he appoints an existing justice to chief, then his trial will be presided over by someone who has no particular loyalty, and no motivation to make things easy on him.<BR/><BR/>But if he stacks it with as many cronies as possible before the bad news breaks, then he may hope that they'll return the favor by giving him the benefit of the doubt.<BR/><BR/>Just a hypothesis. I'd disclaim that maybe I'm too cynical, but every time I've done that, reality has just sunken even further -- almost to taunt me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
