What a day this has turned out to be. Still waiting on Fitzmas Day indictments, but the Bush Administration gets a double whammy today, with the forced retraction of the Harriet Miers nomination plus the forced reinstatement of the Davis-Bacon Act requirment to pay prevailing wages in the Katrina Fuck-up Clean-up. It looks like rebellious Republicans would have mustered the votes needed to defeat Chimpy in both cases.
Granted, only with the Davis-Bacon Act were Republicans actually arguably doing the right thing (although I'm certain that they were more concerned with losing votes than with paying fair wages). As for the Supreme Court nomination, it's obvious that the hypocritical conservatives applied a religious litmus test to Miers and found her insufficiently homophobic, too open to feminism, and too open to reasonable abortion rights. So much for "questions about cases likely to come before the court," being off limits. Remember, kids, it's OK if you're aRepublican!
