Considering the names that have been floated by the Bush admin, Ted Olson, and other F%$# yous to the Senate Democrats, it appears that someone must been able to twist his arm over this.
Senator Charles Schumer originally suggested the name, so Bush had to choke to select this guy.
I just can’t think about what they had for leverage to stop him from acting like a petulant child…Unless Senator Larry Craig knows that Bush has a “wide stance” too.
