Bush Nominates Limbaugh, Coulter as Judges
by Scott Ott

(2004-12-23) -- In an effort to reach out to Democrats and heal
partisan wounds, President George Bush today announced he would
nominate radio host Rush Limbaugh and author Ann Coulter as judges
on the federal circuit courts of appeal.

"I'm pleased to nominate Mr. Limbaugh, a disabled American, and
Miss Coulter, a blonde American, to the federal bench," said Mr. Bush.
"I expect bipartisan support in the Senate for these nominees since
we all share a commitment to diversity on the courts."

Sen. Arlen Specter, who will chair the Senate judiciary committee,
said, "I'm impressed with the president's magnanimous gesture of
reconciliation with our friends on the other side of the aisle. As
judiciary chairman, I will personally guarantee that these nominees
will move on a fast-track."

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, said he had not heard of
Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter before, "but I understand that they're
celebrities," he said, "and we Democrats have always had a warm
relationship with the entertainment industry."
