Now that Bush has imploded and bowed to his radical base of anti-privacy reproductive-rights-hating wingnuts with a Miers withdrawal, let's parley the reaction on the flip...
Poll after the flip, for fun, because everyone loves polls.
My favorite Miers-Bush failure quotes:
"They had a litmus test and Harriet Miers failed that test," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
So true, Teddy. Hilarious, even...
[President Bush] said he had never asked Miers about her position on abortion -- "there is no litmus test" -- even as he gave conservatives his personal assurance that she's one of them.
And I must include the Porch-Chimpy's favorite southern senator:
TRENT LOTT (R-MISS.):
''Let's move on. In a month, who will remember the name Harriet Miers?''
