Glenn Reynolds' short memory.

True, it's a small thing, but...
OBAMA COMES TO MICHIGAN, TEA PARTY BREAKS OUT. I like the “No Czars In America” sign.
Heh, indeed. No American president ever appointed a "czar."
It is surprising that Rove finds the appointment of czars to be “a giant expansion of presidential power” because he actually served as the “domestic policy czar” in the Bush White House. In fact, President Bush himself appointed numerous czars in order to deal with various public crises and controversies, including a “cybersecurity czar,” “regulatory czar,” “AIDS czar,” “bird-flu czar” and “Katrina czar.”
And that list omitted the war czar. It's a term that's been used since Richard Nixon. I don't recall Putz ever complaining once about it during the Bush years.

But, just like everything else, when the Democrat negro does it, it's a constitutional crisis.
