Talk about partisanship! Bush should make Olsen a recess appointment. That’s what I would do if I were him.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed on Wednesday to block former Solicitor General Theodore Olson from becoming attorney general if President George W. Bush nominates him to replace Alberto Gonzales.

Congressional and administration officials have described Olson as a leading contender for the job as the nation’s chief U.S. law enforcement officer, but Reid declared: “Ted Olson will not be confirmed” by the Senate.

And if I were you, commenters I wouldn’t come here and blather on about partisanship because I will laugh in your, um…avatar or whatever. I’m a little ticked off about this as you can tell.
