Poor Little Snowcone Miers

This would have been so much more exciting had it happened tomorrow. And so much more effective.

Mr. Bush has agreed to withdraw his nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court ("though reluctantly") in a "quit while we're ahead-ish" move. There was no way she was going to get through a confirmation hearing and garner enough votes to be confirmed by the senate - poor lady. Hopefully she'll go back to not being a real judge and just remember this as that dark period "when I was nominated for the Supreme Court". Bryan suggests maybe the Whitehouse gardener should now be nominated - would it be un-PC to state at least he'd probably by bilingual?

As mentioned, it would have been more Barnum and Bush style to have this happen tomorrow, in conjunction with the will they/ won't they All Indictment All the Time Friday. But maybe it would have been too much. Who knows. Maybe we could have had Judith Miller, Dick Cheney and Harriet Miers all singing the prison barbershop blues together by accident. Or would that actually be an accident?

Oh Harriet. Run away home. And I never even actually heard you speak.
