Well, it's my opinion. I could be wrong. I think the problem arose when his advisor on nominees became the nominee. I said it rather perjoratively, but the truth is, most executives are helpless without advisors. The make decisions, they set overall strategy, but without experts around to help, they are useless.
ACtually the comment about advisors IS wrong.
The person who was pushing Miers was Andy Card, according to American Spectator 'prowler'. So much for depending on advisors.
