Just got my “Elite Republican” membership card in, much to my surprise. Amazing, and all this time I thought you had to be rich or in business for yourself. But hey, $31k/yr civil servants must be able to make it, since only elites are criticizing Miers, and since I’m criticizing Miers again, I must be an elite, so $31k/yr civil servants. . . Anyway, you get the picture.

So. Is the Republican Party leadershp really this dense? Running away from Porkbusters, bad enough. Sorry, I find recent pretty words by Hastert very unconvincing (of course, this is Novak writing, so he manages to be totally unclear and never mention the blogsphere.). Not sitting Bush down and bitch-slapping him until he shows some freaking sense over Miers is just dumb. Prominent supporters are flip-flopping to oppose her, and Michelle Malkin has got another roundup.

The more Democrats that jump out to defend her, the more I think she should be defeated. After fifty years of approvals (Roberts is the only SCOTUS justice to be approved by a Republican Senate in that long), there is no way in hell I’m going to approve of anyone the Democrats do.
