Whoever's advising the president on this needs to grow a bigger pair!!

Its too bad for us that the only adviser WITH a pair has been busy, which allowed Andy Card to hold sway on this one. All the rest are women, not to fault them. Rove was supposed to have been against this pick. I don't think Bush will make this mistake twice. But, if Miers doesn't drop out, he might not get a chance to do it again.

Bush was busy with the hurricanes and Iraq. The staff has to take the blame this time around.

Speaking of having a pair, Newsweek has the emails from the brain trust who helped get Roberts confirmed. Many on the e-mail trail fretted about their own "credibility" if they publicly took up the cause for Miers, who seemed to lack the credentials they value. All they cared about was how it looked, because Bush so obviously let cronyism dictate his choice.

So they basically threw the President and his nominee to the wolves to protect their credibility, because they were afraid of what people might say about "cronyism".

Boy, it's too bad "cronyism" isn't a lefty word like sexism is.
