Harriet Miers did NOT voluntarily withdraw her name. George W. Bush withdrew her name for her in a historical display of weakness. No president in history has fallen out of favor with the American people in such a way as Bush has over the last 12 months.
George Bush caved to his narrow-minded base. The 30% that even many Republican Senators are now running away from. But that's all right. He played to his base-the 30% that will crawl into their corner by themselves and drive moderate Republicans and independents (independents have already left Bush) to Democrats in the 2006 congressional elections. Democrats couldn't have written the script any better.
But George, and Bill Frist, save the lame-ass lies about it being "Harriet's decision". We're tired of your bullshit.
We'll see your lying asses in 2006.
