Right wingers Ticked off about Bush nominee

We haven't had a political dust-up in a while, folks. The next few days may turn out to be extremely interesting in the Chinese sense of the term, and I'm expecting tempers to flare. So let's be as gentle with each other as we can.

As to Miers, I'm not surprised conservatives don't like her. I don't like her either (though I'm sure she's a perfectly nice person--I'm talking liking her as a nominee). Few people think she's qualified.

Course, she has a hella funny blog.

tell me that BLOG is a joke! It's not really hers, right?

Lauralyn

That's a joke.

But the scary thing is, in many letters of hers that have surfaced she writes EXACTLY like that, down to the multiple exclamation points.

I can't work up much interest in this topic.

All I can say is that, however folks like Hugh Hewitt and the Cornerites may disagree on Miers, they are never going to end up on opposite sides. Pro- and anti-Miers groups agree on far too much for that. The Republican party, after all, still allows for dissent and free thought among its members.

From the Corner (mostly anti-Miers) today.

"NO HACK [Stanley Kurtz]
Hugh Hewitt is no hack. Read his last post and you’ll know. One of the things that makes Hugh’s post so great is that he drops the elitism bit. The whole hack/elitism thing is silly, wrong, and counterproductive. I hope it’s over. And Hugh’s right to be ticked at the tendency to read Miers supporters out of the conservative movement, the Republican coalition, or whatever you want to call it. Thank goodness we’ve got Hugh on our side ­and he is on our side, despite all the differences on Miers.

[Intervening paragraphs in which he debates some of Hewitt's points...]

...Anyway, we’re having a worthy debate. I’m glad Hugh’s in it­ and very much on our side."

And Shaun, try being a pro-life Democrat on for size. (There are pro-abortion Republicans aplenty.)
