Frankly, given Ms. Miers purported loyalty to the President, she should have refused the appointment, knowing that his base would be enraged, and that she was too old.

I'm as mad as her as I am at him.

Me,me,me, it's all about about me, despite Ms. Meirs qualifications, and as a kicker she's ready to go the glue factory.

Yunz guys are hilarious.

An excellent point! I keep scratching my head as to where all of the President's politcally savvy people were.

So, maybe he was a political idiot for a moment, where were the others saying, "No Mr. President. This may seem like a good idea, and it may in fact be a great pick - but this will be disasterous for the remainder of your Presidency, and even for the Party. Pick someone LIKE her if you want - but make sure that who you pick is known as a conservative. You owe it to those who have supported you. Picking Ms. Miers makes you look weak, afraid to seem too conservative, and even vindictive. In some people's minds, this will only confirm that you are... well, less than smart."

I might be inclined to change my opinion of Ms. Miers if she withdrew her name - but I would still wonder about the intelligence (or integrity) of the man who nominated her.

This is the dumbest thing I've read all day. And the competition has been fierce.

That is the most vacuous statement I've read thus far.
