Lessons for the President

I admit I have an instinctual urge to defend the President from all attacks but it is increasingly hard to do when even someone such as myself sees mistakes that have been made. Here are some things he should consider.

Miers the wrong pick

George Will on the Miers nomination. Unsurprisingly, he's not a fan. Neither am I. While I think it admirable that Bush is very loyal to his aides, and they in return are loyal to him, the rewards for that loyalty should not include a seat on the Supreme Court. I applaud his decision to go to war in Iraq. I applaud his tax cuts. I applaud some of the ideas for the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast. I applaud his nomination of John Roberts. But Harriet Miers? If he had to go for the diversity pick he could at least have chosen someone qualified.

Bush nominates Miers to the Supreme Court?

How disappointing. Pat Buchanan says it all.
