I don't think Bush is the sort to put up a sacrifical lamb. I mean he just got *DONE* getting through a scary conservative white mail with Roberts. I think Bush though all the conservatives would take a "Trust me" from him, and they obviously didn't.
I know I'm being a little silly and paranoid. Or at least I hope so. I just can't imagine anyone genuinely thinking that a croney with no record to speak of and NO judicial experience at all was going to get confirmed. It smells like a setup to me. But you may be right about the "trust me".
