Crony all-nighter!

From Roll Call: “President Bush is expected to announce a list of recess appointments to a host of key federal positions as early as tonight or Thursday morning, including two controversial nominations that Democrats have attacked as patronage appointments for unqualified nominees.”

Former senate staffer Tracy Henke and Julie Myers (wife of Michael Chertoff’s chief of staff and niece of former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Richard Myers) are the names the article mentions. Both are in line for DHS appointments.
