I saw this on FNS and wondered why Hume was so animated about this. It's quite obvious he was trying to carry the Administration's water on this, but why?

[frankjr]

Probably for the same reason Kristool is carrying the water for the 2% of Republicans that are against Meirs.

Brit made it up on his own. Case closed

[FreeRep]

Did the White House Smear Batchelder? NO!

[xjcsa]

When Kristol questioned this new smear tactic, Brit incredulously suggested that this is something he found on his own.

That's not what the word means. "Incredulous" here is a description of the reaction of the viewer, not of Brit's speaking manner. Words that would work include "incredibly", "unbelievably", and quite a few others.

[frannie]

Do you really feel Britt was carrying the water for the WH?

I more or less have always felt Britt is his own man. He also is an attorney and just maybe he [his staff] would know how to research the records.

I know there are very few on TV who investigate any of what they present on their program.

Just maybe he has the ability, when he wants, to discover facts on his own.

[Texas Federalist]

ELITISM!!!! Ivy League-educated Bush doesn't like Batchelder because she went to the University of Akron Law School!!!

[ozzymandus]

Kristol's 15 minutes of relevance (not fame) are long gone.

[america-rules]

They are letting it slip as time goes buy that many on the right want evidence of conservative activism in the nominee and not someone who will follow the constitution.

I said this here the day after Bush announced Miers and I've said it many times since.

I've now heard it many times when CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and Fox have these people on to slam the Miers nomination.

It's been said using code words but I've picked it up pretty well.

[AD from SpringBay]

because of a record of “judicial activism
Class of 98, not that that means much - My GOSH - trust is in short supply these days. I understand that. But I'm almost persuaded that this President (whom I voted for) is finding someone who will read the law into the law, so to speak. I've not posted on many of these Meirs threads. But I'm thinking, according to the president (which isn's a popularity contest btw) here is a nominee that will interpret as interpret does - at least that's what momma used to say. Unnerstand?

Sometimes the administration's water needs to be carried. Who ya gonna trust?

[hershey]

Maybe Brit fired up his computer and did some digging on his own.
