Thanks, Win. Good to have that post on the record. No doubt, we'll get back to all this when the hearings really heat up. Or, we may not. I'm not certain this thread can handle that much explosiveness. And then there is the sometimes plaintive cry of what does this all have to do with foreign affairs.

My argument on that point, admittedly not the strongest argument around, is that the decision to renominate Pickering derives from the Bush political strategy of winking and nodding southward. And one can make the case as I'm considering doing, that his foreign policy has some elements of the same. Not the racism but a deliberate appeal to a certain kind of very militaristic Southern culture. I make that last bit of qualifying because I don't consider that true of Southern culture in some generic sense.
