Harriet Miers, not-at-all-affectionately refered to on this blog as the Mushroom when President Bush floated her as a Supreme Court nominee, is leaving her post as White House Counsel as of January 31. According to Fox News the real reason for her resignation was the fact that Karl Rove is anticipating non-stop lawsuits from the ‘Rat-infested Congress, and Miers’ career as a civil litigator left her woefully unprepared in either the criminal law or separation-of-powers disciplines.
And this is the broad that Bush wanted us conservatives to swallow on the Supreme Court? Most of SCOTUS’ work is in those two disciplines.

Makes you wonder just what the hell ole W. was thinking.. I still wonder anymore.
Bush’s 2nd term has been a major disappointment to say the least. Sets us up for Hillary for two terms and Osama Obama for two more after that.
Hopefully I’ll be taking the Eternal Dirt Nap before then so I don’t have to live through that but that’s not likely.
Yes, W isn’t really meeting our expectations -especially with the Miers fiasco.
I’m actually glad that she resigned because if Rove is correct, Bush will need a strong counsel for the next two years.
