>How can the President have that much personal and professional contact with a person for over a decade and not have any idea of what she stands for? Does that make sense to anyone?<
Makes perfect sense to me. Bush knows his nominee up close and personal, we don't; so how can we say he made a bad decision in Miers and the right decision should have been the person each one of us wanted?
We could have had any great steak on the menu. Why ask if the chopped beef is good?
