Contemptuous George

Well, well, well...the President rushed one of the most important decisions of his presidency - a nominee to the highest court in the land - so that media focus would move away from the Rove/Wilson/Plame/We-lied-to-go-to-war scandal. From Bloomberg:

"Bush accelerated his search for a Supreme Court nominee in part because of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the leak of a CIA agent's name, according to Republicans familiar with administration strategy."

Again...should we be surprised by the behavior of Contemptuous George?
