Insiders see hint of Miers pullout

The beginning of the end on this nomination?

The White House has begun making contingency plans for the withdrawal of Harriet Miers as President Bush's choice to fill a seat on the Supreme Court, conservative sources said yesterday. "White House senior staff are starting to ask outside people, saying, 'We're not discussing pulling out her nomination, but if we were to, do you have any advice as to how we should do it?' " a conservative Republican with ties to the White House told The Washington Times.

Of COURSE not! Why think that?

The White House denied making such calls.

Ooops! As soon as ANYONE is called, the cat's out of the bag, especially in DC. As no less than Benjamin Franklin writing as the esteemed Bon Homme Richard noted: "Two can keep a secret, if one of them is dead."

But the conservative political consultant said that he had received such a query from Sara Taylor, director of the Office of White House Political Affairs. Miss Taylor denied making any such calls.
A second Republican, who is the leader of a conservative interest group and has ties to the White House, confirmed that calls are being made to a select group of conservative activists who are not employed by the government. "The political people in the White House are very worried about how she will do in the hearings," the second conservative leader said. "I think they have finally awakened."

There MAY be a better example of the Byzantine nature of political hardball as it's played Inside the Beltway, but the Chief would be hard pressed to name it.

One just KNOWS there will be more, MUCH more, to follow.

The Saddam Trial

The AP has an incredible story about the televised Saddam trial in Iraq. It's striking the different ways people choose to remember Hussein:The moment Saddam Hussein appeared, a Shiite housewife spat on the screen and then sat gnawing her fingers,...

MSM Feeding on Itself

Times: Miller May Have Misled Editors

It's one thing when the MSM lies/misleads/fails to report on stories that fall outside of their definition of, as the NYT states it, "...news that's fit to print". (Which is more realistically ..."news that fits, we print"). I mean, that's waht they are, and that's what they do.

The twist here is for "ace reporter" Judith Miller apparently lying to her own editors about what she's been doing on their time and dime.

It's almost...as if once they start playing loose with the truth in one area, they get into the habit of doing so, and continue it, even "in house".

Ultimately one can expect liars in one area to lie in others. THIS is what is meant by the (much maligned by the MSM) concept that "character counts", eh?

House of Leaves

Let's role play. (No, not that kind of role playing.) You are the sole waste management company serving a relatively small community (5,500). You have dumpsters set aside for "yard waste"; leaves, grass, etc. These are out year round, but...
Quaq-Miers

Faithful readers will recall that, regarding the Harriet Miers nomination, I recently argued that conservatives must decide whether it is enough that Miers would vote right. George Will has an answer:In their unseemly eagerness to assure Miers's conservative detractors that...
