damn....i had not seen this
one thing for sure....i may be pissed at this one but
Bush will never drop her
He values loyalty....even some unearned according to Newt tonight...more than anything
Harriet is the next associate....I have no doubt Bush already had assurances she would fly. Reid would have never gone on record otherwise.
I think Bush might drop her.
Look how he dropped Trent Lott. Also, check his feeble record of supporting his appeals court nominees. Miguel Estrada and Charles Pickering certainly didn't get the support they deserved. And, truthfully the only reason Brown, Owen and Pryor are on the Circuit Courts now is b/c of the Gang of 14 fiasco.
I believe Bush's principle reason for the Miers pick was to avoid a fight. He expected a fight from the Dims, but he's getting a fight from the right. And, the fight from the right could be far more damaging to him personally than the fight from the left.
He may love old Harriet, but chances are his loyalty has a limit.
