Losing a little more respect every day
Hedgehog has an interesting quote from Laura Ingraham on her radio show talking about the Alito nomination. Here is what he wrote:
Uhhh, Laura. You need to buy a clue.
I'm listening warily to Ingraham and so far she has talked about the future . . . oops, she just slipped into an analysis of why Miers was such a bad choice and "all you people who supported Miers should get behind this." Well, I must say that there never has been any doubt that all we conservative "people who supported Miers" (who, by the way, outnumbered conservative people who opposed Miers) would support a conservative nominee. We're, ah, conservatives. The worry was whether your side of the debate would support the president's nominee.
Uhhh, Laura. You need to buy a clue.

Bottom line: Miers wasn't the best person for the job.
Ted,
For just about every job, the person who gets it is not the "best" (assuming we can even agree on a standard of how to determine "best").
My point on borking Miers has always been simple -- there are substantial costs which result from taking her down, so is the benefit worth it? Everyone is entitled to weigh the benefits and costs for themselves, but whether they acknowledge it or not, there ARE costs.
