Speaking of having a pair, Newsweek has the emails from the brain trust who helped get Roberts confirmed. Many on the e-mail trail fretted about their own "credibility" if they publicly took up the cause for Miers, who seemed to lack the credentials they value. All they cared about was how it looked, because Bush so obviously let cronyism dictate his choice.

So they basically threw the President and his nominee to the wolves to protect their credibility, because they were afraid of what people might say about "cronyism".

Boy, it's too bad "cronyism" isn't a lefty word like sexism is.

Oh, but it is.

...and what weasel traitor provided those emails to Newsweak?? Sad to think that someone entrusted with advising our president at the level of SCOTUS nominations would betray such confidences to Newsweak, but that is what our moral culture as sunk to....
