Hugh Hewitt makes Rush Limbaugh look like a Bush basher.
Peyton, thanks for pointing this out. I saw Jonah @NRO mention this earlier.
Also, here is another story about Miers supporting affirmative action for the Dallas Fire Department:

"Miers' time on Dallas City Council provides some insight"
Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women.
The agenda item's title: "Implementation of Fire Department Affirmative Action Plan."
Thanks for the info re: DFD affirmative action. Looks like this is a pattern for Miers.
I can only hope that if I ever need the Dallas Fire Department to come to my home, that someone is physically able to put out the fire. Scary.
