Just listening to Hardball... so why all the angst on CZARS by the screamers on the right fringe? EDIT to add a link http://www.democrats.org/a/2009/09/the_bush_czars.php

10. They really are desperate for a cause they can stand tall with. |
|
Czars sounds so Russian, so foreign, so undemocratic, so totalitarian...they are all about image and never about substance.

15. The Communists Hated and Killed The Last Czars |
|
No? Like Glen Beck, the Communists hated the Czars. Does that mean that Glen Beck sides with the communists?

Because it makes for a good controversy, the media will run with it, and the Democratic leadership might just cave and change their stance.

23. I am positive you do understand. I was just using a bit of theatrics. |

22. The czar thing has been going on since FDR. WIth that in mind, when |

one looks at the number that have been appointed thus far, without benefit of senate vetting or confirmation, isn't it odd that the argument "Well, HE did it first" is used as borderline justification.
