George Bush

There’s good news and bad news about Philip Shenon’s article about recess appointments and vacancies in the Bush Administration.

The bad news is that of course, the government can’t function the way it should without top appointees at the helm. The good news is that because these positions are not filled, fewer mechanisms of government are acting according to a radical right-wing agenda. One might also infer that there just aren’t enough right-wing people out there willing to drink the Kool-Aid of the Bush Administration, which is reassuring to me as an American.

The Bushies aren’t trying a sneak attack with recess appointments, rather, things really are That Bad for them.Brian Beutler gets at this and I agree with him.
