I swear some of these folks who have come down so hard on Ms. Miers seem like they put down a huge wager in Vegas on their "high-priced spread", and they lost. Bummer.
I suspect some did or lacking an actual wager they let their writings and beliefs that they were in on what this President would do get them out so far on a limb that they now can't stop sawing...... It's kinda like they have invented the perpetual sawing machine.... Given enough of this and some more time they will be totally out of any influencial loop, imo.
