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

Fixed.

What were the President, Mr. Card, Mr. Rove and Ms. Miers thinking?

I do hope that Ms. Miers is renominated for a CoA post.

"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.
