Anointed, Not Appointed

George W. Bush's high-handed attitude toward his own majority in Congress keeps getting worse, and we keep waiting for the Republicans to notice they are being insulted.

The latest case in point is President Bush's appointment last week of the next two public trustees for Social Security and Medicare. Normally, those positions require confirmation by the Senate. But leaders from both parties had made it clear they objected to the president's choices.

Then the president did an end run, installing his candidates while Congress was in recess.

[Imagine Bush making a recess appointment that is not an 'emergency'?

Do these people live in a vacuum?]
