Still waiting?
Excuse me for attending to some responsibities first before checking replies.
You lied by omission in leaving out who Hewitt was speaking to, not just "spinning" all by his lonesome. I didn't catch his name but he isn't a "no name"; he's written a forward to one of Bork's books so I would think he has some standing in the conservative community.
You also offered a truncated list of who is in support as if they are the only entities.
Hewitt offers a valid perspective as do some (certainly not all or most) of the Miers critics and he wasn't spinning.
Hewitt said it in his opening monologue.
Perhaps you weren't listening. I wasn't around for his shill - er, er GUEST - because I was too busy retching in the corner.
The truncated list is all you need to know. Heck, let's truncate it down to "Harry Reid" and "86" this nomination right there.
Hewitt's entitled to his opinion, so am I. He called conservatives "knuckleheads" in his opening monologue. He oughta stand on the corner with a sandwich board and a megaphone.
