"After 10 days of this, the obvious conclusion is that Bush thinks it's a good thing to defame, isolate and gut the conservative commentator community, for the sake of establishing the alternative of a cadre of Bush Family captive columnists, like Hugh Hewitt."

What I get a kick out of is the argument by some of Miers' supporters who have said basically, 'if this nomination is withdrawn, Bush will probably retaliate against the conservative base by nominating Alberto Gonzales.'

So their argument is that we are supposed to accept Bush's "trust me" defense because if we don't like his pick he'll 'screw us.' The lack of logic and reasoning from many of Miers' defenders drives me nuts!

But of course they indignantly reject any suggestion that the Miers pick itself is "screwing the base."
