Considering some of the ultra right wing recess appointments Bush has made in the past with a Republican Senate, this is one of the better presents that the government has given to all of us in some time.
US Senate stays in session to block Bush
The US Senate is holding special one man sessions throughout Christmas and the New Year to prevent President George W. Bush from making appointments without the approval of the Democratic majority.Recall that one of Bush's most questionable recess appointees was John Bolton. So unpopular and extreme is John Bolton that he was not going to be confirmed for the position of American Ambassador to the U.N. even with a Republican majority in the Senate back in 2005. The only way Bush could get Bolton in, was with a recess appointment.

You gotta wonder what it is that makes that guy tick.
He's bright, he's articulate, his facts are hazy, but he's so militant and almost paranoid.
I've listened to a few of his speeches and all you want to do after it is take a shower and hide in a bomb shelter. Yikes.
