Top Ten Cloves: Why Bush Announced Roberts Nomination in Prime Time

10. Wanted to out Robert's wife on national television

9. Roberts bet his old law firm partners he could get the President to do it

8. First Lady was supposed to do a 5-minute stand-up act to warm up crowd but networks said material too racy

7. Knew Justice O'Connor was on West Coast, probably stuck in traffic and couldn't give him grief for not naming a woman

6. Was really a pilot for new reality show - Extreme Legacy Makeover

5. Had to get the Robert's out of their house so FBI could bug it

4. Part of the deal for the advice he gave Brother Jeb on how to rig the 2000 Florida vote and get around the courts

3. Thought, by keeping Rehnquist up late, he'd be so tired, he would want to retire

2. Was a trap, to see if Karl Rove would leak the information as to who the President was nominating

1. Doing it at night, indoors, pretty much guaranteed Roberts wouldn't wear Flip-Flops
