"If the president meant Harriet Miers seriously, I have to assume Bush wants to go back to Crawford and let Dick Cheney run the country."
"Start an Impeach Bush Committee"
These statements didn't come from the "liberal mainstream media" or the "wacky left." They didn't come from Dick Durbin or Ted Kennedy. No, it wasn't Barbara Streisand or Sean Penn.
The above statements came from conservative icon, Ann Coulter.
Many conservatives, myself included, are hesitant about the president's recent Supreme Court pick. However, that concern does not have to translate into divisiveness and mudslinging.
The other night, at the Sean Hannity Event, when Mark Levin shared his thoughts on Harriet Miers. His frustration had to do with what little we know about Miers. He had many of the same questions that Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer expressed last week. At the same time, however, he has a measure of trust in the president. Perhaps not quite as much as Hugh Hewitt embodies.
There was one thing he said that I hadn't heard before: "The difference between me and Kristol and Krauthammer is that I'm not going to trash my president."
That struck me. What a great attitude. If you know anything about Mark Levin, then you know that he's not afraid to challenge anyone. And, he can easily make anyone look stupid, both by his style and his intellect. (You should have seen him taking on Gloria Allred that night. Absolutely hysterical. She came off like a bumbling idiot in their debate. )
Levin's tone in this matter is worth emulating. I'm not going to trash my president. I'm not going to disrespect my president. I'm not going to attack his character, his ability or his intellect. I will not strengthen the opposition by demeaning my president.
I believe it's possible to disagree, question and even criticize respectfully. I'd like to see more conservatives as well as liberals to do just that.

I agree.
President Bush may have felt that Senate Republicans lacked the resolve to support a firm conservative choice.
Thanks for the link. I was fortunate to hear the interview of Mark Levin live in the last hour of the Hugh Hewitt show tonight. Mark and Hugh were both excellent. Thank goodness they are both on the 'right' side of almost every issue out there in America today.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
No more Coulter for me. I even mailed back her book I bought to her.... she has made me sick.
Poor Ann must have hurt her head .More than a little koo koo.
Thanks for the ping!
