Limbaugh can't believe AZ judge is "nonpartisan" -- but she was recommended by a Republican

Rush Limbaugh launched a typically partisan attack against U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, who blocked parts of the Arizona immigration law from taking effect. Rush ridiculed the idea that Bolton has been described as "nonpartisan" or "fair" and accused her of "simply adopting the ACLU's argument" regarding the case. To hammer home his point, Limbaugh repeatedly described her as a "Clinton appointee."
But Rush's attempt to paint Bolton as a hopelessly partisan or activist judge is undermined the fact that she was reportedly recommended to President Clinton by conservative Republican Senator Jon Kyl. From MyFoxPhoenix:
This is what we found out about her. Bolton was a Superior Court judge in Maricopa County for 11 years, between 1989 and 2000. She is well regarded among both Democrats and Republicans.
In 2000, she was recommended by Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, a Republican, for the federal bench. And she was nominated by then-President Clinton.

By the way - I wonder how many Republicans have Progressive auto insurance?
U.S. Constitution: Article IV; Section 4;
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

I just can't stand his schtick.
