Bushologists figure the president was irked by repetitive demands that he satisfy the base with his Supreme Court appointments. He also was irked by the conservative veto of his Texas friend and Miers's predecessor at the White House, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. So, Bush showed the critics by naming another close aide lacking Gonzales's track record to draw the ire of the party's right wing.

Sounds like what a big, overgrown child would do---nothing a grown man, much less the President of the United States, would do.

Maybe we in the base should "re-irk" GW. Take away his candy and send him to bed without any confirmation.

Stop the Miers nomination. Withdraw it, GW.

Stop the Miers nomination. Withdraw it, GW.

Talk about being childish. That's not going to happen. Barring some revelation of incompetence or corruption the president's nominiee will be confirmed overwhelmingly. Even if you threaten to hold your breath until he withdraws her name.
