Can't you vultures even let the ink dry on the Miers withdrawal before you promote your "perfect" pick?

What would you like people to do - observe a week-long period of mourning during which we sit around somberly reading and reflecting on the wit and wisdom of Harriet Miers as passed down in her speeches, such as this kernel?:

"Courage is lacking in would-be leaders many times today."

"What would you like people to do - observe a week-long period of mourning during which we sit around somberly..."

I don't know about "people" showing Miers respect but I certainly didn't expect you to give her the least little morsel..

More from Miers forced withdrawal letter, a fellow loyal conservative you knifed to death and continue to trash...

"As I stated in my acceptance remarks in the Oval Office, the strength and independence of our three branches of government are critical to the continued success of this great Nation. Repeatedly in the course of the process of confirmation for nominees for other positions, I have steadfastly maintained that the independence of the Executive Branch be preserved and its confidential documents and information not be released to further a confirmation process. I feel compelled to adhere to this position, especially related to my own nomination. Protection of the prerogatives of the Executive Branch and continued pursuit of my confirmation are in tension. I have decided that seeking my confirmation should yield."
