I enjoyed your use of Reagan and Sun Tzu against Rush. I admire Rush and many other conservative radio hosts who seem to be squeamish about Miers, but their skepticism verges on cynicism, which is very un-Reagan.
In addition to their wanting an all-out bloody battle over Sandra's replacement, Rush and the other naysayers are violating another Sun Tzu-ism: When strong, appear weak. Rush thinks we're being weak by going into stealth mode, when in fact, we may just be giving the appearance of being weak.
I totally agree.
I also believe a lot of cynicism and pessimism will be erased during the Senate confirmation hearings.
Read my lips: The choice of Harriet Miers will turn out to be one of the most brilliant political manuevers ever made.
The democRATS are tied up in knots, unsure of how to deal with it, and they are totally clueless on how to proceed.
I love it!!
