What great news we got this morning! First, let me say that I am ecstatic that Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination–apparently following the Krauthammer exit strategy to the letter.

Second, l wish to state my admiration for Harriet Miers. She is, no doubt, a wonderful Christian woman. That I believe being a wonderful Christian woman, by itself, does not qualify a person to sit on the Supreme Court is not an insult. I know lots of wonderful, Christian persons…who are not qualified to be on SCOTUS. Heck, I am a [wonderful?] Chrstian person, and I am not qualified. But, as the wonderful person she is, she took one for the team. Looking out at the political landscape, she became aware that her nomination was causing great damage to her side of the camp, so she withdrew. Not a bad judgment; not bad at all. Thanks, Harriet. We all owe you one.

Lastly, Mr. Bush, we all understand you are human and can make a mistake. Please, sir, do better next time.
