I give Bush credit for not caving in to his opponents on the Iraq war issue. So there.

The statement was fine until you tacked on the entirely juvenile "so there."

Does Bill Clinton deserve credit for breaking off his affair with Lewinsky?

To compare the Clinton-Lewinsky matter to the situation with Ms. Miers reveals a mind set on your part that is truly muddled. The following is an example:

We dodged a bullet...

How do you know if "we" dodged a bullet when you can't even discern that Chief Justice Roberts and soon-to-be Justice Alito are not excellent picks?

Frankly, I have to laugh just thinking about someone such as yourself condescending to judge the qualifications of anyone.

Waaah. You said I wouldn't give Bush credit for anything. You were wrong. So there.

A very simple and easy to understand analogy that demonstrates that when one retreats out of necessity, it may be welcome, but it's not exactly creditworthy. In the case of Miers, SHE withdrew, so if anyone deserves credit, it's her, not Bush. That's not even debatable. He deserves credit for what? Not rejecting her withdrawal??

I guess it depends what you mean by excellent. To me, SCOTUS picks are a crapshoot, and very unpredictable. From what I understand, Souter said all the "right" things when he was nominated. We just have to wait and see. Again, not even debatable.

Frankly, I have to laugh just thinking about someone such as yourself condescending to judge the qualifications of anyone.

Have a good time, bush bot. As I said, Alito and Roberts are clearly qualified, even to a layman such as myself. And Miers was clearly unqualified, to me, to just about every concerned conservative who wrote or spoke about it, to the Senators who met with her, and ultimately, even to herself. But keep on guzzling the kool aid and have a good time.

We dodged a bullet because the Miers hearings would have been an absolute trainwreck which would have severely damaged the president's credibility, and would have made attacking his next pick that much easier. It would have been a major embarrassment.
