I've been stunned by the number of Republican Senators who have been willing to open their mouths and let something like this come out:
"My colleagues across the aisle say that we should be happy because 98% of President Bush's nominees have been confirmed, but I say, would you be satisfied if your airplane was 98% safe, or your wife was 98% faithful?"
The hell? First of all, has any recent president had 100% of his nominees confirmed? Have the Republicans ever prevented 100% confirmation for a President? And second, how does anyone of even minimal intellectual capacity compare airplane safety and the confirmation of judges for a President who didn't even win the popular vote?
