It's very interesting to go to RadioBlogger's july 2005 archives and read what Mr. Hewitt was saying about the SC back then. Here's a small sample. I'll put them all together, the perfect ingredients for a ** sandwich:

Hugh Hewitt on why federal judicial experience and a track record do matter:

You see, I've tried to explain to people about Judge Janice Rogers Brown, that she has not been a federal judge. And my concern over her and Priscilla Owen is, that federal judges just do different things than state judges. And I want to see a little bit from them, before you run as a conservative. I don't want to run blind. And I think she really hasn't done, for example, federalism issues, hasn't done federal pre-emption, hasn't interpreted the free exercise of the establishment clause, though there are Constitutional counterparts in California. That's my concern, Erwin. I just don't think they're reliable enough when it comes to understanding how they'll handle federal issues.

Hugh Hewitt on why age matters and why you don't want someone close to 60:

HH: You know, I had this argument with people earlier. I view every year as 70 votes. So when you trade from a Luttig or a Roberts at 50-51, or McConnell, or even a Miguel Estrada at 44, you're giving up seven hundred votes, seven hundred decisions. That's a lot of future influence for a president to give away to someone who he doesn't know who it's going to be.

and

Now let me close with Larry Thompson and Ted Olson, in the Washington Post write-up, as well as J. Harvey Wilkinson. They're all a little long in the tooth, really.

and now for the COUP DE GRACE. Hugh Hewitt on why Brilliance and Intellectual Greatness matter:

I want to pause for a moment, because you'll say great things about Luttig, Roberts and McConnell, as I have. There is an argument for brilliance that's got to be made here. And I don't know some of these judges. But those three I do, and they're brilliant. And brilliance matters, even if you're a dissent, because you've got to mold the law schools. You've got to mold the professions. You've got to look ahead. I think Bush needs to go for someone about whom there is no question of intellectual...the capacity for intellectual greatness.

Your Honor, Mr. Hewiit is GUILTY of fraud in his support for Miers. The evidence is clear and convincing, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

"Which one do you think is Soros?? Dumb Bunny?? She's a Heretic....Burn Her at the Stake!!"

Soros is a she? Must share genes with Helen Thomas.

[WOSG]

"I don't understand why this makes Hewitt a hypocrite. His first choice for the seat was Luttig. Hewitt never would have chosen Miers if he were president. Nevertheless, even though Hewitt didn't get the nominee he wanted, he honestly believes it is better to get Miers on the court than to fight this appointment. I disagree with Hewitt on this point, but I don't hate him for differing in opinion. It's odd to see the glee some posters show in attacking conservatives. Disagreement is okay; we allow it in conservatism."

Very good point. We dishonor ourselves in smearing other well-meaning conservatives and being intolerant of disagreement.

We'll see who has the last laugh soon enough.

"Then you have a collection of e-thugs who are here simply to try and start sh*t, disrupt the forum, and get people they do no like banned. Most of these are people who were banned from FR and now conjugate at Liberty Post and are part of the Boot Hill gang that actually run a FR hit list and Jim Robinson is #1 on it."

They were probably brainwashed by Pat Buchanan's machine. Don't forget to wear your tinfoil hat lest you suffer the same fate.

... Tsk, tsk, tsk, out to discredit every conservative you can. Really making hay while the sun shines, ain't y'?

Perhaps I am borish, however the statement is very easy to understand. If a conservative didn't make your list you do your best to discredit them. Every one you can. Makin' hay while the sun shines ...

"We'll see who has the last laugh soon enough."

Actually I don't have a dog in this fight since I have no opinion on Harriet Miers at this point. I just love watching bots in Captain Queeg mode each time someone "jumps the shark!"

[fallujah-nuker]

Each time you question the Miers nomination a Michael Bolton song is played.

Thanks, Chiller! It's been an incredible day. Would you believe that as of last count, my original article at NewsBusters has received . . . over 49,000 hits! It's also been cross-linked at over 30 blogs, not to mention being read in part by Rush.

Wonder when we'll see Michelle Kosinski on Today again? ;-)

You wrote "Are you serious? If so, my theory is correct; some liberal thinkers are having influence in the WH. I suspect Andrew Card. What's up?"

Here is the script of the "Slick" commercial (view it at NRSC.org)

Script:

ANNCR: “Have you seen this guy Steve Laffey?”

AD: “I’m Steve Laffey…”

ANNCR: “In his TV ads, he complains about oil companies… But he’s the same Steve Laffey who ran a company selling oil industry stocks on Wall Street. Profiting from offshore drilling. The oil companies made a fortune. Steve Laffey made a fortune. Now Laffey says he will . . .”

AD: “. . . stand up to the special interests.”

ANNCR: “Slick. Steve Laffey. Laughing all the way to the bank. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is responsible for the content of this ad.”

LOL.

Hate to tell you, but in her very limited paper trail, she has revealed that her favorite musicians are Engelbert Humperdinck and Kenny G ;-)

I have a suggestion for you...

Up the dosage...it might help calm you...

[trubluolyguy]

The thing is most of our so-called conservative pundits need to be stripped naked, tarred and feathered, and then rode out of town on a rail. Maybe by starting with Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter. LOL

Only the ones that don't bow at the altar of Bush?

"...she has revealed that her favorite musicians are Engelbert Humperdinck and Kenny G ;-)"

Ouch, I found that so disturbing that I had to throw "Led Zeppelin III" into the CD player!

Freeping is my therapy!

Anybody else see this???

I did. He wants the process to proceed unhindered.

Just look at your post and then look in the mirror!!

Pray for W and Harriet Miers

[Oklahoma]

I bow only to God. What about you?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

We are investigating apocryphal reports that Senator Brownback's office claims to have video of Harriet throwing her room key onto the stage during an Engelbert performance at the Bellagio ;-)

You'll appreciate this column.

But for Frum, et. al., the next worst outcome would be for Miers to perform well at the hearings, be confirmed for the Court, and then vote with Roberts, Scalia and Thomas on high profile issues.
