Lameduck presidents limp out, ruptured ducks get a see you later raspberry from everyone.

Incidentally, Michelle Malkin has an absolutely devastating, and impeccably sourced item on her blog today, "The Trouble with Harriet." Miers, various sources reported, seemed to know nothing at all about constitutional law, and even made a bonehead error asserting that 14th Amendment Equal Protection required proportional representation, a scarey insight into her possible policy objectives on the Court. Another Senator remarked:

"She doesn't have the gravitas in terms of the constitutional issues," said another senator who has been critical of Miers. The nominee, the senator said, would not answer questions about whether she would recuse herself if issues involving her work with Bush came before the high court.

That's scarey, too: she doesn't know enough about judicial ethics to know when she has to recuse herself? That's where the advantage of judicial experience comes in, boys and girls, and she ain't got it.

By all means, check out Michelle's blog today.
