Preview of the Bush Endgame

Bush's three recent recess appointments (including Swift Boat Vets backer Sam Fox as Ambassador to Belgium) not only illustrate the full extent of The President's sincerity with regards to 'bipartisanship' or 'working with Congress' (he obviously has none), they also provide a pretty clear picture of what we can expect when the clock finally runs out on this administration.

Bush will take whatever opportunity he can to load the government with as many cronies and neo-con ideologues as possible, in the hope that the next administration will have its hands so full fixing so many messes that a few Bush-era hacks will go overlooked. Expect as well to see the long-anticipated pardon for Scooter Libby.....as well as the one for which (by then) Alberto Gonzales will likely have an equal need.
