Do you really think that Dubya put Harriett Miers through virtual hell for three weeks, just to fake out the Dems?
Cherry or grape?
I love the idea that Meiers was a feint.

Like I said, I have been assured by someone well-positioned to know that it was exactly such - a deliberate, preplanned feint in every respect - including advance consent of Meiers, and the fact that the vetting of now-Chief Justice Roberts was already well underway...None of what happened in that scenario was accidental. The Bush team knew the tendencies of the loony lib left cold - and played them against themselves - in full view of a salivating media machine.
