The president said he would pick a candidate like Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, and he did not. We all know of outstanding individuals who fit that bill, and they were once again passed over. Even David Souter had a more compelling resume that Miers.

I'm a Levin fan, but to be fair, Levin doesn't know whether or not Harriet Miers will be another Scalia or Thomas. But his David Souter comment proves the point that all too often, resumes don't mean a hill of beans and for that, he lost his own argument.

Well, yes, take heart -- Cheney told Rush that we'll all be very happy with this pick in ten years. Just have to be patient, I guess -- after all, conservatives have waited all these decades, worked our arses off, and urged to hold our noses and vote for Rhinos so we could win the all-important prize: Supreme Court nominations. Now we'll get to see the fruits of our efforts in ten years, when the present administration is ancient history and who-knows-what inhabits the WH and Congress.

In the meantime, let's work to prevent Hillary from gaining the White House, and re-elect all those rhinos in Congress -- because there really is a world of difference between Arlen Specter and Harry Reid, though it might be hard to see sometimes.

Yessir, I'm pumped.
