Miers Withdraws Under Mounting Criticism

By the time this has happened, there was a certain inevitability to it. As the Chief was driving into work this AM, thoughts that Miers didn't have very long to go before she withdrew her name were answered by a news update that this in fact had happened.

Now maybe we can get down to basics - if the President goes back to the base and appoints an unashamed originalist conservative, he will be pleasantly surprised at the strength and depth of his base support.

As fas as the inevitable rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, Donk opposition is concerned, bring 'em on - the GOP DOES have a Senate majority - and needs to use it - including the Constitutional (or so-called nuclear) option.

MSM Caught Demon-eyes-ing Administration Again

H/T to Michelle Malkin on this one -

Another case of the MSM (USA Today this time) doctoring content to try to make someone (Condi Rice in this case) look somewhat evil.

Condi Rice a la Anne Rice?

What happened this time was that they tweaked a photo to make her look like she has the evil eye, but got caught in the act. Apparently when they got noticed in the blogosphere, some vestige of journalistic ethics was belatedly called into action, and the picture was revised in their archive, with an editorial comment.

The real deal!

Editor's note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.

In other words, now that we got busted, we had better try to do some damage control! The Chief suggests you can believe as much of THAT explanation as you want to.

And the MSM still expresses worry about "editorial control" in the blogosphere! The question is, who in the MSM watches the watchers? At least the blogosphere has the feedback mechanism so succinctly stated on the Captain's Quarters site: "Thus every blogger in his kind, is bit by him who comes behind." It seems to work better than MSM "editorial control" does.
