So, Bush put Miers in to cover his butt legally, and it pits Right & Left
Against Each Other....Except for Harry Reid who sees it all and is telling us that the "Center" supports her...she's an acceptable candidate.


We've got Ed Schultz yelling that Progressives shouldn't be hoodwinked by Meirs that all Lawyers give to Democratic and Republican Campaigns i.e. the Gore/DNC donation and then we have David Frum carrying on that Meirs is not a help to the Right Wing like a Lutin or Mitch McConnell would be. The rest of the Right is supposedly fuming, too.

Then in the Middle there's Kos and Harry Reid and probably a few more are going to come out in support of her who might be called "Centrists."

What are we to think? :shrug:

Bush's "Brain" is cleverly pitting left and Right against each other to watch the fun?

Or, Bush appointed her because she knows "where the bodies are buried" and just like with an appointment of Gonzales she will be totally loyal and never reveal a thing about those "papers that went across her desk?

Or, she's a Bush Activist "Stealth" plant to uphold his Christian values and vote with Scalia, Thomas and Roberts whenever he cracks the whip.

1. personally, I think he's terrified of a filibuster fight
all that "political capital" he never had is gone.

Powerless, and impotent.

3. Or Bush doesn't know whether to shit or go blind
He's flailing, he doesn't know what to do, and his mentors are too worried about their own asses to care anymore.

4. That's certainly my take...
And I'm not surprised Harry Reid is pleased..could Chimpy have picked a more damaging nominee than this?

She helped cover up the AWOL scandal, she's got ties to Tom Delay's scandal, and she's an unqualified crony like Brownie.
