KLUNK!

The other shoe will fall in a couple of days.  At that times, check the forums to see what I wrote several weeks ago.  I will either be an idiot, or a Seer.

He is holding that close to his vest, but what do you think?

Since my prediction is still secret, I will let you have the Title of Karnac the Magnificent for now!

Funny, so did most of the senators apparently.

Bush should go with a real conservative for scotus, then we can have a huge fight in the senate, no work gets done, the republicans can be all self satisfied, the democrats can do their usual whining and crying shtick,We can use the nuclear option, \destroy government as we know it. But put a stop to activist judges on scotus seeing things in the constitution that does not exist.

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda

But do you think he will?

I think this this withdrawal comes at a very fortuitous time for the Bush administration.

Tomorrow indictments will probably be handed down, but then he can announce his new pick for the S.C. on like Monday or Tuesday and BAM, indictments are OLD news.

Brilliant.

Pure Machiavellian!  I had not thought of that angle.  But (not to throw a monkey wrench into your idea), Originally the indictments were supposed to come down yesterday.

The problem was not Myers but Bush. He selected her as he did Brown, Rove et al. The real weak link is Bush.

Try at least spelling her name right before you go into your anti-Bush tirade.

lol, hey... go back and read the bet blog. MM made good odds, sure, but who not only predicted that she wouldn't get confirmed, but that she'd withdraw as well?
