MIERS WITHDRAWS NOMINATION
Hmmmm ... what other friends of mine need jobs?
Boy, this is a bad week for Texas.
The undefeated sweep of Bush's loyalty to his Lone Star friends seems to have ended.

I don't think her "withdrawal" is as much a sign of Bush's weakness as it is a victory for the way-right wing and a sign of how much the White House is controlled by the most reactionary wings of the GOP's Big Tent of Hatred (awesome for Halloween!!).
Now, yet again, the big question is whether Bush will try to continue to avoid a united Democratic rebellion and a nationally televised debate about abortion by choosing nominees with no record of opposing Roe ... or whether he strives for the "Most Conservative President Ever" award and nominates someone who openly advocates turning back the clock.
I'd prefer that Bush throw a real curveball and propose an altogether different Justice Miers:
It has, after all, been a long time coming.
