Steyn could have chosen not to report Frum's views at all. He included them because he's keeping his powder dry on Miers, not quite blasting her yet, but not giving her a ringing endorsement either. He's uneasy about her. Within a few weeks, I predict he'll make up his mind because the hearings will reveal a lost little lamb before the wolves the Senate. At that time Steyn'll empty his potent rhetorical arsenal on her head.

Lambchops anyone?

My crystal ball needs polishing..I think I'll wait on the hearings before I predict the outcome..or judge her abilities to handle the esteemed members of the Senate.

I think he reported Frum's comments because other conservative commentators have been so viciously negative, and he had to reply to that. He is the lone wolf in this situation.

It may be true that he's hedging his bets, but I take Steyn at his word. I think he believes what he wrote today, something he wrote after a couple of days to think about things.

And judging from his past writings, he will admit it if he is ultimately proven wrong.

As will I, and, I'm sure, other Freepers who are starting to think that this might be a very good nominee.
