 Dr. Gates will have no trouble with even the most liberal member of the Armed Services Committee.

 first off his confirmation will occur before control changes hands, but even if it did not, even with the Dems in power, Gates would breeze through it.

 Oh, I fully expect him to be confirmed without so much as a speed bump, but I can't help but shake my head at the viscerally negative reaction from many on the left to anything W does or anyone with whom he associates.

 Same thing I felt about the reaction of the right to anything Clinton did.

 Sorry guys, but I don't think that the Wonkette speaks for members of Congress.

 Well Tom Delay just implied Pres. Gates might negotiate with terrorists, so it isn't just the left.

Keegan: True. But as you know, that accusation is also true for many righties who automatically attack anything a Democrat says, does, or associates with.
I think Gates is a good choice.
Btw, for some truly 'viscerally negative' commentary about GWB, go to redstate.com.
The redstate columnists are extremely angry at GWB right now.
Interestingly, all of that website's columnists are R's.

Do you really think its proper to refer to the President of the United States in that manner?

Ah, no I saw that after I posted, but it wasn't worth it to fix- you got the point. But perhaps it might have been since you are no whining about that.. Which I'm now whining about your whining and so on..
