“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Credit where it isn't due

From the Corner:
RE: BRILLIANTLY ROVIAN! [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Now, here's to hoping that's not his last hurrah.

CNN is asking how embarrassing this is. It takes a big man or White House to realize they made a mistake. He deserves credit and, bottom line: This episode will not be one of the headlines from the Bush presidency.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
You know what the relief is this morning? A return to the feeling that this president gets the big things right.

Accepting the story given by the White House that Miers withdrew because of a document kerfuffle, then what is it the President actually did? What is it that he "got right?" He didn't accept responsibility for a bad pick, or realize the so-called damage he had done to the conservative movement. All he did was accept a resignation letter.

I guess that's what passes for great leadership in the new White House.
