My little crony

Today, Bush "reluctantly accepted" Harriet Miers' withdrawal of her own nomination for the Supreme Court. I don't, even reluctantly, accept the notion that it was her decision or her idea, or that it was Bush's. This was a decision made by the most prominent handful of Republican senators, who no longer have any use for Bush's coattails and certainly have no use for his handpicked judicial neophyte. These senators all want to run for president, and each is trying to shape this nomination in the hope it will later be seen as the first victory for his fledgling campaign.

All that aside, it's good for everyone that this Miers won't be a Supreme Court justice, except for SNL dinosaur Rachel Dratch, who loses one of the only impressions she can do. Somebody please make Rachel the snarky best friend of a sitcom main character so she can get off SNL.
