What an absolute embarassment for Bush. I'm kinda of curious what was so juicy in those "priveleged discussions" that would warrant her getting the axe like this. I'm sure a book is already in the works. It's kinda sad though that an individual like Miers doesn't reach the bench because she is woefully under-qualified, failed the judicial questionnaire, etc. but rather doesn't reach it because Bush has some private conversations that he doesn't want released. Wow.
This is an interestng phase in the political landscape of our country right now though. The Republicans seem intent on setting world records for how spectacularly they can embarass themselves, but the Democrats are too tentative and seem unwilling to grow a pair and seize the moment. Perhaps this will clear some room for more Third Party politics? Probably not, but I can hope I suppose.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
