I guess I have consumed the Miers Kool-Aid; I'm hoping for one of the following scenarios:

1. Miers was heavily involved in all of the judicial nominations President Bush has made over the last 5 years and by discussing the qualifications of these the President has satisfied himself of her "originalist" credentials. All conservative thinkers and writers applaud the overwhelming brilliance of his lower court appointments; I just can't believe this President would fail on the third most important nomination (Dr. Rice and Gen. Powell being #1 and #2) he'll make as President (and on a issue he explicitly discussed during the Presidential campaign).

2. The conservative critics of Miers are part of a vast right-wing conspiracy (they exist all over the place, you know!). As in, maybe President Bush can trick Democrats into overwhelmingly supporting Miers if he asks conservatives to "pretend" to be offended by her. She's being morphed into a Trojan (Supreme Court justice) horse. I'm hoping the President could not believe his luck when Senate Minority Leader Reid suggested the President consider Miers for the post (then see 1. above). Also, by taking such serious counsel with Reid, the President, again, gets to highlight his amazing efforts to include Democrats in governing; uniting!, uniting!, uniting!

Tomorrow, some comments on rogue CIA employee Valerie Plame, wife of hate-Bush, loud-mouth, Joseph Wilson. My goodness, where there's a television camera, there's Joe Wilson.
