Harriet! Har-ee-et. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis.

Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to be a Supreme Court justice today in the face of stiff opposition and mounting criticism about her qualifications.

President Bush said he reluctantly accepted her decision to withdraw, after weeks of insisting that he did not want her to step down. He blamed her withdrawal on calls in the Senate for the release of internal White House documents that the administration has insisted were protected by executive privilege.

Next.

Comments:
Good, lousy choice by the President. This President doesn't admit his mistakes, fine that's one of his character flaws, at least Miers could see all the opposition her nomination created.
