What kind of people support such lying hypocrisy? Judicial emergencies indeed!

This was in our Denver Post letters to the editor yesterday. The letter is about half way down after the school reform letters.

http://denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E416%257E2734390,00.html
(fixed link, I hope. Letter is from Feb.27)

"Even as a Republican, I start to wonder how much of the press is just propaganda. So I asked my legal friends, what's the record here? They advised me, "Come on! Bush has had more than a hundred judges appointed and only 10 rejected. That's over 90 percent approved. Neither Bush Sr. nor Reagan enjoyed that kind of success. In fact, no president has enjoyed over a 90 percent appointment rating."

Why are you not giving me the bigger picture? How can the newspaper leave this great success rate out of the articles? As a Republican, how can I realistically tell how we're faring? I'm starting to feel like the propaganda is muting even the good points."

And this was posted in editorials by SevenEightyWhoa:

"President Bush has re-nominated seven candidates for the federal appeals courts. Each was blocked by Senate Democrats during his first term. He also sent back to the Senate five other nominees for the federal appeals courts whose confirmations were slowed because of Democratic concerns regarding their legal backgrounds. Bush has accused Democrats of blocking votes on so many of his nominations that they have created “judicial emergencies.”"

1. Nice
I'm sure that record is something the Democratic "opposition party" is real proud of.

Do I hear 95% approval in Bush's second term?
