The other thing that they don't seem to understand is that, like a child having a temper tantrum, being left along with your own screaming is not a sign of victory...it is a sign of abandonment.

I was absolutely not thrilled with Miers. However, I will wait until I see her confirmation hearings to make a decision. Most of the criticism of her is hysterical assumption...and that includes the "super genius" pundits.
