Harriet Miers, who once opined that President Bush was one of the most brilliant men she'd ever met and who was rewarded with an unsuccessful Supreme Court nomination, has had enough. She resigned from her position as White House Counsel, effective at the end of the month.

Asked why she was leaving, Snow said: "Basically, she has been here six years."

That's reason enough.

    is best known, perhaps, for bearing an uncanny resemblence to "Data" in drag.

    ...this whole thing that just reeks to high heaven.

    Maybe bush under such pressure is just too much of an SOB?
    Maybe her stated religious beliefs are being violated?
    Maybe she knows where too many bodies are buried?

    I don't know, but there is something there there...

    I'll bet that even Harriet (none / 0) (#6)

    has a conscience, shriveled and unused though it might be buried deep somewhere inside her. Maybe it's starting to keep her up at night occasionally? ;-)

    Repubs see Hillary as the biggest threat in '08.  Condi will be the administration's candidate with Harry(et) as the campaign manager.  

    G.W. has destroyed everything he has ever been involved with. Repubs are supposed to be anti-spending, yet Bush has created the largest deficit and vetoed no spending bills.  None.  

    Bush's last thing to gut would be the republican (read: White Man's) Party.  By having a woman ticket in the republican party (Condi w/ Harry(et) as campaign manager), he would force white men  - the Trent Lotts & Virgil Goodes - to run like hell from the republican party.  

    Yet, the Hillary Hating/anti-choice/right-wing women would have to choose between Hillary and Condi.  Condi will be their only option.

    It is the Rovian divide and conquer, but people are tired of this tactic and they are looking for unity and solutions, not division.  

    McCain's goose is cooked.  Guilani is a fool and embarrassment.

    Condi is their only hope, but the day she announces her candidacy, she will turn the W/M republican party into the cut and run party.  It will be no more.  ;-)

    You are a troll, but to shut you up I give you the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton.

    And you are off topic (5.00 / 1) (#13)

    No doubt she will write a book with a high ratio of garbage to gold. I doubt that I will read it but the MSM probably will.

    If you mean something, say it. What you did is  called moving the goalposts. That is a strategy for debate. Another is to concede LOL.

    Lesson 2:

    The dems had no choice but to go along.

    That's called a concession.
