Lobbyist-turned-Bush nominee withdraws.

“President Bush’s pick to head the Consumer Product Safety Commission withdrew his nomination Wednesday amid strong opposition from some Senate Democrats.” Michael Baroody, a senior lobbyist at the National Association of Manufacturers, was set to receive an “extraordinary” $150,000 “departing payment” from the association before taking his government job.

1. Is shrubbie going to try another "recess appointment"

That prick isn't above trying it again as I'm sure everyone knows.

2. Exactly what happened last time. Bush recessed the guy anyway

Swift boater Fox withdrew his name, but Bush recess appointed him along with two other stinkers.

Nothing to stop it from happening again. Yeah, Reid said he had a plan to stop it, but Reid also had a plan to have an Iraq withdrawal timeline.
