SCOTUS Pick Gave to Dubya's Daddy

Looks as though President Bush will deflect attention away from RoveGate tonight when he announces his pick to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court.

Bloggers and traditional reporters are saying Bush will nominate Judge Edith Clement to the highest court in the land when he addresses the nation in a televised speech.

I've searched available Federal Election Commission files at www.tray.com and only one donation from Clement turns up.

Clement's single contribution to a candidate was in 1987 when she gave $1,000 to Dubya's daddy.

Just a fun factoid to file away as the White House attempts to move the spotlight off its handling of Karl Rove's potentially illegal unmasking of a CIA operative and the battle over the next Supreme Court justice heats up.
