The Silver Lining
Jonathan Alter made a good point. The Miers nomination and withdrawal is a great moment for our country. Why? Because it shows that conservatives can think for theirselves. Instead of being toadies for Bush, they stood up as independent political actors. Although I might disagree with conservatives, I respect them. Bush, I have no respect for. The fact that the conservatives have shown distance from this evil man who is our President says really good things about them and the health of our republic.
