I can't wait for someone, anyone, to mention the irony of the downfall of the Tom Daschle nomination - for purely nonpolitical reasons - given the number of Bush Administration nominees Daschle personally either obstructed or killed when he was Senate majority leader (for political or other irrelevant reasons).
Indeed I heard not a single Republican Senator object to the nomination of any Obama appointee on political grounds. Has any Obama appointee been given the Ashcroft treatment? Not one. Has any nomination been held up by Republicans for reasons of pure partisanship (i.e. Miguel Estrada)? Not one.
It seems to me that the Democrats could learn a lesson in bipartisanship from the GOP.
