"The Miers nomination IS the most catastrophic political miscalculation of the Bush presidency."

Let's hope it stays the worst. With all the resources available to the Oval Office, it's disconcerting that the vetting was so poorly done.

I sincerely hope that the message "the President knows Harriett Miers, so there's no need to completely vet her" was not conveyed. Somehow, I think it was.

With all the resources available to the Oval Office, it's disconcerting that the vetting was so poorly done.

What vetting? She's Dubya's personal buddy. Vetting concluded, time to get on with the nomination.

I doubt this will stand. Especially now that some of the "dirt" is being exposed.

If she was a long time judge with a sterling reputation as a staunch conservative, she might survive. But with her actual creds, I doubt it.
