What if Bush nominated Harriet Miers as kind of a sacrificial lamb, to make the Kleptocrats use up their political capital with a pointless battle, and leave them less ready to fight his real choice, to be named later? I don't think she'll end up being confirmed, but if the Dems put up too much of a fight, the voters will be tired of it after round one, and the next nominee will have less trouble with the Senate.
Or maybe he just knows something about her that the rest of us don't. Maybe there's some real quality behind her that we haven't seen. The one thing I'm fairly sure of is that the president is a lot less stupid than the media make him out to be. There's an iceberg under here somewhere.
