Dobson has faced a barrage of media attention in recent days...

I think that explains it!

I still can't believe he said it in the first place. What was he thinking?

He was "talking out of his @$$" about confidential information and now his writers have finally fabricated a 'spin' to tell everyone.

A hack; maybe a christian (lowercase intentional, for him) hack, but definitely a hack.

This statement keeps haunting me:

"When you know some of the things I know — that I probably shouldn't know — that take me in this direction, you'll know why I've said with fear and trepidation (that) I believe Harriet Miers will be a good justice."

It almost sounds like Dr. Dobson knows something about Miers' past.

Well either she's pro-choice or anti-abortion...it can't be both ways.

Conservatives are having a fit because they're not sure she's pro-life, liberals are having a fit because they think she's anti-abortion.

When they start talking about calling folks to testify about a nominees views, then you know you're getting into "borking" territory.

Its not that cut and dry.

One could easily be pro-abortion and anti-Roe, or anti-abortion but pro-Roe depending on judicial philosophy.

I tend to believe Miers is anti-abortion, but I have no idea how she would rule on Roe...

He was probably talking out his ass to puff himself up and sound like a bigshot VIP.

Pat Robertson has the same problem. They aren't on the inside, but they don't want anyone to know it.

Pardon me miss, but I think your slip is showing.

Was a dumb thing to say, unless he was playing the Feinstein game... trying to scare Dems away from her.

The words in bold are *really* strange. Would someone please explain what he means??

I'm guessing that he talked to her pastor and concluded that she is a good Christian. I'd like to see the Dems try to make something out of that.

My guess is that he doesn't know squat. He just had an emotional moment and fluffed up -- in his own mind -- some coffee and donuts story. He wanted more punch than he had so he pulled his own "trust me" line out of thin air. He probably just felt special because he gets to talk to the WH once in awhile. It's them handling him, not the other way around. He didn't expect this reaction (he should have).

I love Dobson, but this was one stupid mistake.

He said he believes Miers is against abortion, but in last week's broadcast added: "if I have made a mistake here, I will never forget it.

So, he as much as admits that he has no new information. But the press, desperate to divide the conservative base, will twist any little piece of BS it can.
