Yet another Bush "in-your-face"

In another example of a President Bush "in your face" to his critics, he has nominated conservative judge Samuel Alito to replace justice Sandra Day O'Conner. As I blogged here and here, I thought that Miers was a "throw-away" nomination to take down the Democratic opposition so that he could slip a real conservative justice thru the nomination process. From what the Democrats are saying (check out Michelle Malkin's site), it looks like this will be a real "knock-down, drag-out" nomination fight. Just what the Repubilcans in Congress want to show how out of touch the Democrats are with mainstream America.

I don't know about you, but I rather like the fact that our president does things because he thinks they are right and let his critics be damned as taken straight from the El-ahrairah book of politics. Remember, public opinion polls are for sissies and Democrats. Real men let the chips fall where they may.
