I agree with every word you write here, Judy. I was thinking a few days ago of how Bush seems like a Nixon figure now. The indictments are closing in and he is looking increasingly isolated and desperate. He is simply a man who is not up to the job (although that part is not like Nixon). I saw Bush talk about Miers yesterday. First he said she was a "fantastic woman." Then he said she was "honest and open." These are things you might say when giving a reference for someone applying for a job as a salesclerk or something, not a Supreme Court nominee, who should have a first-class legal mind. Bush is a strange aberration in our history, and the sooner we are rid of him the better.
