(3,145 posts)conservative asshole. Obviously he IS, or he wouldn't have been part of the Bush administration. It just means the Bush administration went too far even for a member of their own tribe.
It's positively disgusting that Obama is nominating this guy for anything, but not surprising. Obama goes around the country saying he can't get anything done without a Democratic congress, then he nominates Republicans to high positions in his administration. Obama keeps showing by his actions, not by his speeches, the low regard he himself holds his fellow Democrats in.
