I could not agree with you more. Bill Kristol and the rest of the jump on Bush group are just plain stupid.
They don't understand the big lesson of the Bush administration that has been learned by both Democrats and Republicans. That lesson is to never tolerate leakers or disloyal employees. Bush fires them on discovery. The fact that he does has reduced the number of leaks and backstabbing by an order of magnitude. The old leak and knife days are over. In the Future neither Republicans or Democratic presidents will have such people in their administrations. The price of playing games is a destroyed future.
If you stab Dubya in the back, the chances of being anything in a future Republican administration are zilch.
Coulter needs to understand that her stupid remarks are going to haunt her in the future. Once Mier is confirmed and turns out to be a positive for Republicans, no MSM reporter will ever let her forget how wrong she has been. I have never thought much of George Will either. He is not exactly the brightest bulb in the lamp. I think these reporters and columnists spend way too much time in DC bars talking to MSM people. They really don't know what is happening.
Kristol is much like Pat Buchanan. Both have managed to destroy their credibility and careers. They did it to gain short term media attention. The only thing left for them to do is trash their own party. And the days they can do that are numbered.
The point I want to make is the Democrats have no way of stopping the condfirmation of Miers. She will be confirmed. Once she is on the court we are all going to learn what President Bush knows for a fact. Harriet Miers is going to be a great conservative justice.
In five years the right will be worshiping at the knees of retired President Dubya.
The problem for the so called right wing pundits is President Bush treasures loyalty and brains. Many of the right wing pundits have proved they have neither. They are the ones who will look stupid in history. They are sacreficing a long term following for short term media attenion. It is a very dumb thing for them to do.
George Mitchell never got to be Baseball Commissioner, did he? HA!
