Response to Slats Statement that the Left Supports Mediocrity on the Bench
How outrageous is this? You would think that a Democratic president nominated Miers! The truth is that W screwed up so badly with this appointment that Republicans are caught in a dilemma -- admit that their man, the incompetent W, screwed up again or find something, anything to make lemonade. And that lemonade or purple koolaide, sour, unpalatable and ultimately deadly as it is, is all the Right has. However, trying to blame the Democrats for not vehemently complaining about the president's incompetence is something that my esteemed republican friend should be much embarrassed. After all, I think it was Republican majority leader Bob Dole who said that if the majority is self-destructing, shut up and get out of the way.
