I agree, but I don't think that's what we're really doing in most cases with Bush. Our response isn't "what can we really do to ensure no more cronyism in Federal appointments" which is an honorable but probably quixotic venture; it's just Bad Bush Bad.
I'm not asking that we ignore all his many failures. (Harriet Myers!?! Thank God that ran aground quickly.) But let's be really careful in figuring out where the blame ought to go and where the power should rest to try to fix things.
And I know that so much of what people who hate Hillary hate her for is the same kind of "well, it's an easy target" kind of thinking.
