Bush Knows Her Heart

I guess there are lots of reasons to be uncomfortable with Bush nominating Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. Like, she's "born again," or wholly unqualified. (Or that she was nominated by Bush, which makes those previous two reasons redundant.) Many Republicans seem nervous and/or disapproving. Even Administration lapdog Senator Trent Lott has reservations.

But why is it when the GOP seem to be walking the thin line between inevitable disaster and overwhelming victory, they always seem to pull it out of the fire? I mean, this looks like a lose-lose for the Republicans, and yet I still can't help feeling uneasy.
