Blah, blah, blah, they are parroting a Wash Times wishful thinking article.

What elase is new, especially for the vapid weekend Fox crew.

Janice R. Brown? Better than plan A.

[sure_fine]

what books are they (FNC) selling today?

I don't have a clue about Miers and would like to see her before the Judiciary Com. before reaching any conclusions.

I trust GWB that she is on the right side of the issues.

My biggest surprise is that she did not fit the mold that I thought the nominee would fit, especially after Roberts was nominated.

[johnmecainrino]

This is very misleading.

Outside conservative groups with no say in the matter are saying this NOT BUSH.

BUSH HAS SAID THE NOMINATION WILL GO AHEAD. LAURA IS THRILLED.

Here's a link to the Washington Times article reporting the rumor. I've also posted it as a separate thread:

All these people in Washington DC and the media like to yap, yap, yap about things they know nothing about. They are such an insufferable lot and a bunch of self-important know-it-alls who think they have an "inside track" on things because their mommies and daddies sent them to some snobbish Ivy League school. The fact is that if you put them all in a giant gymnasium, their collective IQs would barely be half that of regular people like GWB or Condoleeza Rice. And that annoys them because they know it.

Bye bye, Aunt Harriet!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Having now read the Washington Times article, I need to correct something in my original post here.

Reportedly, WH staff is reaching out to conservative leaders as to their recommendations for handling a Miers withdrawal.

The article names Sara Taylor, director of the Office of White House Political Affairs, as one of the WH staffers who personally placed such calls. She denies it.

[joesbucks]

One of the F&F hosts clarifed that according to the information Fox has received, it is not WH aides who are doing the outreach directly, but conservative surrogates. ,p>Certainly they wouldn't do it directly. This all has to be done behind the curtin.

But thank God this administration is straight forward and doesn't do the trial baloons or gauge reaction to make policy :)

OOOPPPSS, if Fox is correct then that's exactly what they are doing.

[AmishDude]

I really wish they'd stop listening to Bill Kristol at the Fox News desk.

[conservativecorner]

But...but...we are elitist sexist monsters who only want bad things for this President. END SARCASM!

[OKIEDOC]

Could it be that Bush nominated an unacceptable Miers knowing full well that she would have to withdraw from contention.

I wonder if he did this to make it easier to or as they say in West Texas (grease the slides)for another candidate.

Don't underestimate George Bush and his political savvy.

So Carl Rove gets indicted and has to resign.

I believe they still have telephones that work here in Texas.

Whats to keep Rove from working as a volunteer.

CIA leak is a lot to do about nothing.

The Demagogues err Democrats have nothing to hang their hats on so any old thing will do.

[cynicom]

Plan B will really be suspect. With Plan A being Bushes best attempt for the future of this country, B will be suspect from the opening bell.

[KenmcG414]

Miers is toast, and I hope Bush uses his head for the next nomination.

[CindyDawg]

I don't know if she's a good choice or not. I've been waiting to hear what she says and have been watching. I think the President is backed into a corner though and I'm curious to see how he is going to get out. If he keeps her, it seems he is going to alienate a lot of his base. If he has her withdraw, he will be labeled as weak and folding under pressure. If his team is watching here I suggest he pray about this, and do what he believes is best for our country. If she's the right judge it will all work out. If he made a mistake, pull her. Just do the right thing for the right reasons. We need the "Cowboy" back.

[ElkGroveDan]

this should liven up our Staurday here on FR.

[reelfoot]

Let's hope Plan B is to nominate someone with a record of believing in original intent, strict construction, sovereignty of the states under the 9th and 10th amendments, limitation of general welfare and commerce clause jurisdiction, and no foreign precedent.

It's what Plan A should have been.

[tellw]

Nominees have been withdrawn before. Remember Douglas "Captain Toke" Ginsberg, who was Reagan's first nominee chosen after Bork's defeat? He had to withdraw after it was revealed he was a marijuana smoker while he was a law school professor.

Foggy Bottom has become Mayberry U.S.A..

And Aunt Bee is running for sheriff..
