I just noticed a post up at Michelle Malkin’s site about President Bush’s decision to nominate Michael Mukasey for Attorney General rather than Ted Olsen.

My expectations of the Bush administration are so low now, it’s hard to get worked up anymore when the White House abandons conservatives in its futile quest to appease Democrats. But I am moved to agree with Paul Mirengoff of Powerline that the decision to pass up Ted Olson for Attorney General in favor of Schumer-approved nominee Michael Mukasey was an especially dispiriting “act of preemptive surrender.”

I couldn’t agree more.
