Bush made a mistake

As I recall, Bush supported Arlen Spector's re-election bid, rather than back a more conservative Republican. Spector was later criticized for speaking out in a way that made it apppear as if he would not be very helpful with judicial nominations. Well, he apologized and all was well in the spineless land of the GOP senators.

So now we have this, regarding confirmation of Judge Roberts:

"Arlen Specter sounds exactly like Chuck Schumer,"...

So, who was that Republican smear operative who said that? Sorry, it was none other than:

...said Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York and a member of the Judiciary Committee.

I wonder if I should waste my time complaining to Lugar again? His pathetic lack of action regarding little Dick Durbin's gulag speech did not impress me.

I hope at the very least, this puts a nail in the coffin of the "new tone" and while were at it, through the hearts of a few RINOs as well.
