If you look around places like redstate.org, it doesn't look like his base is too happy with this either- most notably because she contributed money to Al Gore.

Personally, sure it's bullshit that he keeps putting his friends ahead of the American people... but the rumor is that Miers is on the Democrats' "no filibuster" list so I can't say I'm unhappy.

Remember Howard Dean's allegations that Bush told him (when they were both Governors) that he couldn't stand the hard right-wingers... calling them "nuts"? Well this would seem to lend more credibility to that...

I've got to call up some of my Republican friends and laugh at them now.
