Miers Expires

A reporter on CNN quoted a Republican source that said if the Miers nomination would have gone as far as the judicial hearing process it could have been an intractable situation. An uncomfortable situation they couldn't control? Are they afraid she would have said something she shouldn't have? Did she just not return Matt Drudge's phone calls? The Democrats like Leahy say that the radical right ruined this nomination. One thing is for sure the withdraw draws attention away from what will come next, the results of the investigation. Perhaps there will be a major battle of consequence in Iraq tomorrow or tonight to draw attention away from the news tomorrow.

appears under your feet
you slip out of your mind and out of your eyes
with your fear blowing out behind you
as you claw the thin ice."
