"WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush vented frustration anew Saturday over the Senate's failure to vote on more than 180 of his nominations, including more than two dozen to the federal bench.

"Some have been waiting for more than a year," said Bush, who invited many of the nominees to the White House for an event on Thursday. "As a result, careers have been put on hold, families have been placed in limbo and our government has been deprived of the service of these fine nominees."

Democrats counter that Bush is equally responsible for the stalemate between the White House and Capitol Hill over presidential nominees to lead government agencies, preside over U.S. courts and serve on commissions. They say that in some cases, Bush has nominated people who have no chance of being approved by a Democratic-led Congress."

1. Some of Clinton's nominees waited for years and years

I didn't hear Bush* saying anything about that...The man has zero credibility or stature so why does anyone listen to him at all?

6. Will Georgie get another face boo boo?

As his tantrums have undue planetary impacts, could he literally be the biggest baby in history?
