With Harriet Miers Gone, Eyeliner Eagerly Reclaims Respectability
Which royally sucks, actually, because we were going to don the black robes for Halloween...
Tough break, Hughie:
The Gang of 14 did incredible damage in May, but it was possible to recover from that set-back because conservatives did not abandon their argument for an up or down vote after a hearing. Now many have. The list of conservatives publicly urging a hearing and an up-or-down vote for Miers is very short indeed. Perhaps that will change.
Not. Gonna. Happen.
UPDATE: "Reading Hugh Hewitt's blog over the next few days promises to be even more entertaining than usual," says The Plank's Jason Zengerle.
ANOTHER UPDATE: "I think Ms. Miers has been unfairly treated by many who have for years urged fair treatment of judicial nominees," says Hugh. "She deserves great thanks for her significant service to the country. She and the president deserved much better from his allies."
Such a shame. It's quite sad, you know, to see a gentleman of Hewitt's caliber in the throes of disappointment. Our message to Hugh: Despite our differences, and this tragic setback to the imminent abolishment of Roe v. Wade, we must put our shoulders to the wheel and carry on.
We'll be there for you, buddy.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE: "Miers does what George H.W. Bush should have done 59 years ago," sez TBogg. "In other news, Hugh Hewitt has been put on suicide watch but they're not really watching that closely..."
