CUTE.....

As so often happens Digby has the best comments on today's nomination:

I think it's kind of cute that so many conservatives are expressing such
angst at the choice of Harriet Miers this morning. Seems they thought that the
Bush administration was about conservative ideology. Funny.

The Bush administration is about setting up the legal and institutional framework for a Republican majority for the next generation. That is Karl Rove's raison d'etre,
beyond Junior, beyond conservatism, beyond ideology......

....It's important to recognize, finally, what Karl Rove and the Bush administration, with the help of the modern Republican apparatus under Tom DeLay, Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed is all about. They are building a political machine, not a political movement. I find it very amusing that the right wing "intellectuals," from their ivory tower think tanks and millionaire supported sinecures at political magazines, have still failed to recognize that.
