Well, too bad. He opened this can of worms. Laura Bush did not attack anyone. She said, when asked pointedly by Lauer if some of the criticism could have been sexist, that it "was possible." Well, it IS possible, and if she or her staff read the threads here on FR the answer would have been "probable."
Many people have valid doubts about Harriet Miers. That is fine. Some of the attacks on her have been derogatory and personal, and that is not acceptable.
No one in the White House has criticized any of the critical pundits by name. No one is going after them personally or professionally. No one is requesting their tax returns or leaning on their employers.
Mr. Frum should quit whining. He wanted to open this debate, and now wants to close it before he is burned by public criticism. What a wuss.
Before I read one word from conservative pundits, I also felt sick about this nomination. I believe Miss. Miers should have enough loyalty to the President to withdraw her nomination. I don't trust her..for various and thoughtful reasons...and one which has not been explored by the pundits is her church affiliation. I am all too familiar with it and even if they are generally pro life, they continue to vote very democratic and see no conflict between their personal faith and the democratic party. Actually, I think President Bush let Laura decide who should be the next nominee and Laura picked Harriet!!!! Fess up Mr President
David from is another one of that group that detests Evangelical Christians. Krauthammer and Kristol as well.
