We've also learned a lot about "conservative Republicans" who are blindly supportive of Miers...by the words they've chosen to emply in attacking those who oppose her.

Absolutely. Especially if we keep in mind that attacking the attackers is not the same thing as attacking an innocent woman.

Let's take a look at this thread up through this comment and go with the non-reasoned responses:

• #2 calls Frum a sourpuss.
• #3 features a "cronyism" theme cartoon
• #4 features, as a resonse to Frum's questioning of an apparent lack of distinguishing characteristics, a sarcastic piece continuing the "cronyism" theme
• #7 emphasises blind trust of President Bush
• #8 calls Frum a whiner and sourpuss (guess that's the word of the day) for anyone that dares question this appointment).
• #10 calls Frum an abortion-lover
• #12 pooh-poohes the idea that conservative lawyers actually assert conservative principles in their professional lives.

This is hardly Conservatism's or the GOP's finest hours.
