New dominant Bush strategy (in the absence of Harriet the Nominee): nominate Karl Rove. Indicting a White House adviser is one thing; indicting a Supreme Court nominee takes guts. Let's make sure this so-called "Patrick Fitzgerald" has the balls to really do a job.

(And then, if Fitzgerald indicts Rove, withdraw the Rove nomination and nominate Fitzgerald himself. His integrity is unimpeachable!)

Dominant Bush strategy #2: nominate a man of impeccable intelligence, of great moral fortitude, of unswerving Constitutional scholarship, whose nomination would at once quiet the evangelicals and prevent the Bush presidency from ever falling into difficulty again. That's right, folks... he's got to nominate himself.
