Consoling Miers

When Pres. Bush accepted the letter of resignation, how do you think he explained to himself and to her the reason she wasn't accepted? Since I can't imagine what he was thinking when he proposed her, I can't imagine what sense he's making of it now.

"You would have made a great judge. If only they'd gotten to know you the way I do, Harriet, instead of being rushed to judgment."?

"You were a victim of Washington insiders who'll do anything to damage this presidency."?

"Gosh, Harriet, I guess the Senate just isn't ready to have a woman on the Supreme Court"?

And so we march on to a new nomination by a man who takes Clarence Thomas as a model Supreme Court Justice. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

He probably said, "Well, Etta, we've done it again. We messed with the minds of my enemies and found out who my friends really are. Now you can get back to the list you prepared before we hornswaggled everyone."
