Hey, look over there at that other thing!
Is the whole Alito thing just a ploy to get the headlines off of Scooter's impending stay in the pokey? DNC chair Howard Dean seems to think so.
"President Bush shouldn't try to use the nomination of an extreme conservative to distract from the ethical problems his White House is facing. Three days after a top White House official was indicted, President Bush continued his troubling pattern of playing to his right-wing political base in times of political trouble. In an indication of his weakened political position, Bush has nominated Samuel Alito, a conservative activist judge, to replace Justice O'Connor, who has been a voice of moderation on the Court for a generation. A lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States is too important to be sacrificed on the altar of short-term political gain."
