You know what sink, I give up. I thought The White House and other Conservatives would not be this politically tone deaf as to let this mistake of a nomination linger on as long as it has. That isn't "drama", I am just disgusted and exhausted with this whole fiasco (and it is a fiasco). I am tired repeating the same points over and over again. Moreover, if George Will, Ann Coulter, David Frum, Pat Buchanan, William Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Michelle Malkin, Peggy Noonan, and all the rest of these people (who are much more eloquent than I) cannot convince you people what a calamity this is, then I never will be able to.

This should have ended last weekend, with her withdrawal. I am finally seeing the end that you have been advocating: she won't withdraw. Andy Card, Scott McClellan, Ed Gillespie, and the rest of the goons sent out to sell us this pig in a Polk will only continue their scorched earth policy against their own supporters. I finally realize that the bridges over the Rhine are already blown to toothpicks and are set ablaze.

If you don't see that this nomination has ripped the GOP apart, then I cannot paint the picture for you. Bush should have realized his error early on, and corrected it. I can now see that he won't. So be it.

For all who have argued so vociferously for Miers, I surrender. It looks like you are going to get what you wanted.

Enjoy the Pyrrhic victory. It was well earned.

Well, only if those who want to rip it apart keep it ripped apart.

According to Rasmussen, 54% of Republicans support Miers' nomination. Only 17% say, at this point, that she should be voted down. That's not a very large "anti" number.

Most Americans are very fair people, and they are willing to give Miers a chance to make her case. It is un-American to put somebody in the arena, then have her chased over the wall by a pack of howling dogs before she even gets a chance to open her mouth.

The more the pundits rant, the more unfair this treatment of her appears to be, and the more certain it becomes that she WILL get her hearing.
