| Despite the 2006 elections proving that voters want Democrats to hold George Bush accountable, Montana Senator Max Baucus is publicly considering confirming Robert Gates as secretary of defense -- before a single hearing has been held.
The cart before the horse circumvention of his duty as a US Senator is all the more remarkable considering that last time Gates was nominated by a president named Bush, Baucus voted no.
Without public hearings to demonstrate that Gates has changed, the question then becomes whether it is in fact Baucus who has changed over the last 15 years. Was Baucus right in 1991 to conclude that the senate wouldn't be able to hold accountable a CIA Director who was a central figure in Iran-Contra? Or is Baucus right now to trust Bush and have such a little focus on accountability that he is signaling support before the first hearing? |
