The Tribune is reporting today that the rightwing idealogue nutcase du jour is Samuel Alito
WASHINGTON -- President Bush swiftly will name a new nominee to the Supreme Court on Monday, tapping Samuel Alito, a longtime federal appellate court judge and former prosecutor, to replace the soon-retiring Sandra Day O'Connor.The conservatives will cheer. Liberals will scream. Democratic senators will filibuster.
In advancing Alito, 55 and a 15-year veteran of the Philadelphia-based appeals court, the president will offer conservatives within his own party a welcome candidate with strong and well-articulated conservative beliefs who should start the mend rifts within the Republican Party. Many conservatives were outraged the Bush had nominated Miers instead of a conservative jurist such as Alito, and considered him among several of the best choices available for the court.Nevertheless, it should provide plenty of entertainment.
In nominating Alito, Bush will draw Republicans into a battle with some Democrats who already have indicated they will oppose Alito -- though he is widely perceived as easier to confirm than some of the other more conservative choices that Bush had.Anyone want to bet Alito was the real nominee from the start?
And so it goes.

You know that's funny since I had the same thoughts over the weekend..Maybe it was a little strategery?
But, based off of the pattern of conduct and behavior, I doubt they would conduct a ruse that big. I think it was just another act of stupidity.
Stupidy? From this administration? They have it in spades.
No, I really don't believe it was any kind of ruse, just blind arrogance from King W the Dim. He's still living in the land of 'Whatever Georgie Wants Georgie Gets.'
No, you're not the only one who thinks this, Ol' Guy.
Thanks for bringing it up.
