Maybe Daschle's not a total waste
or
More Bush-it
Bush just ranted about Democrats fillibustering his candidates for partisan political reasons. He wants legislation to change the process.
Daschle responded in committee. He said
- Bush has had 124 nominations confirmed
- Bush has had two nominations blocked, one because the candidate "wouldn't fill out his job application," the other because she put her personal views over the law
- Bush nets a 98.4% approval rate (personally, I think that sucks, but …)
- Clinton had 50 nominees that never left the committee
- Clinton had 10 that left the committee, but never got a vote on the floor
