Spin Control

Not being as smart as Jason, it took me a while to figure out I could just turn on my television.  Watching Fox News, it looks like the White House will spin the Miers withdrawal as a defense of executive privilege.  The Senate wanted certain documents pertaining to Miers's role as White House Counsel, and the White House didn't want to give them up.  I happen to think the White House is right on those merits, but I also think that the nomination was pulled back for political reasons, not for the stated reason.  That said, no White House can publicly say, "We were going to lose, so we gave up." Let's hope the White House does not repeat its mistakes.  Now let the drum beat begin.  Michael McConnell, Michael McConnell, Michael McConnell!
