Martinez Running Amok

Another blot on the Bush legacy is the mismatched appointment of (junior) quisling (on amnesty) Senator Mel Martinez (RINO-FL) to the position of chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Martinez shares Bush's Washington-elite-insider's view on amnesty and immigration -- a view that the Republican base recently repudiated in no uncertain terms.

Now that the candidates are responding (or, at least pretending to respond) to the wishes of the base during their pre-primary campaigns, Mr. Martinez has taken it upon hnimself to "correct" them.

This guy is very thickheaded. He is a Bush mistake along the lines of the ill-fated Harriet Miers nomination. The Martinez nomination has the marks of Rove's fingerprints on it. (Some genius!) He needs to be replaced -- YESTERDAY.
