Bad sign: Kos sees Miers pick as a big win
The conservative blogosphere is furious about President Bush's selection of Harriet Miers. And despite a few who are willing to accept Miers on the strength of Bush's word (e.g., Hugh Hewitt), maybe the best clue as to how awful the pick is can be found at liberal websites. Kos, for example, says "Sit back enjoy," not only mocking conservatives' disappointment but acknowledging that "Miers' biggest sin, at this early juncture, is her allegiance to Bush. That her appointment is an act of cronyism is without a doubt, but if that's the price of admission to another Souter or moderate justice, I'm willing to pay it....But my early sense is that this is already a victory -- both politically and judicially -- for Democrats." "Democrats are fully aboard," he continues, and they're following the lead of Sen. Harry Reid, of all people. More? As one commenter at the loony Democratic Underground notes, "Considering whom [Bush]COULD have picked...this is a hell of a lot better."
After poking around a bit, there seems to be a consensus on the left: the Miers pick was a win for Democrats. Ugh.
