One can dream, can't one?

This is fabulous!

A growing number of Republican activists say Bush blundered in naming Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court, failing to anticipate the firestorm it would ignite among conservative backers and leading opinion makers who question her qualifications. Bush now may be forced to choose between an embarrassing withdrawal of the nomination or accepting a fissure among conservatives that could jeopardize the party's hold on power. ``Right now the base is completely fractured and people are very concerned about the impact on the 2006 elections,'' said Manuel Miranda, who heads a coalition of 150 conservative and libertarian groups and opposes Miers. ``The troubling thing is that the Supreme Court was the gold ring and the president's thinking appears indiscernible, unless you're willing to take it as a matter of faith.''

It's amazing to watch these assholes turn on each other. I only hope it's not a scheme to get progressives to back the Meirs nomination. The right wingnuts all say they can't calculate where she stands on the "issues" and don't want to take it on faith from the preznit, but I think she may be as looney as any of the other wackos he's put up for the previous various bench appointments. My other worry is that if the Meirs nomination is withdrawn there will be something horribly worse in the next nomination. I suspect though, that the Bush crime family has been so damaged by Iraq/Plame/Katrina/Meirs disasters that their political capital has been squandered to the point where the Dems can really mount a fight on another onerous nomination.
