Bill Sornson said:They absolutely WERE going to block the nomination until Schumer's words
came back to haunt him. The other committee member who "mysteriously" swung
Mukasey's way is Diane Feinstein, who all the sudden is practically PRO
BUSH. (She raved about his performance in CA after the fires, for example,
when other Dems were desperately hoping for an opportunity to criticize.) I
say she's playing nice to avoid her hubby getting investigated for
profiteering off her Defense Appropriations seat; too bad the Senate Repubs
won't grow a pair.
I don't know what sort of bizarre talk radio alternate universe you
got that from, but in actuality Shumer was in love with the guy from
the beginning. They all were, pleasantly surprised with the nomination
and expressing their barely concealed delight with the nominee. He hit
a snag while the hearing was in process, but he's still going to get
confirmed.
Quoted message said:Hypocrisy, Expedience, and Cowardice: today's US politician (both
parties)...
'today's US politician?' That seems to be more of a historical fact
that goes back to ancient times.
