I often get accused of never criticizing Bush or the GOP, which is ridiculous. I criticize them every time I think they've done wrong, and if you search through my archives (which might not be working right now), you'll find plenty of instances. Just recently I criticized Bush for his nomination of Miers to the Supreme Court. He followed up a sublime choice in John Roberts with his female lawyer buddy. Smacks of cronyism just a tad. Now I want to criticize the GOP people who are whining about Miers for a different reason. They won't get upset about cronyism because htey (and all politicians) do it themselves. I don't remember Democrats getting up in arms about Clinton having his wife try to reform national health care, despite that being full of nepotism. Hillary's only qualification for that one was that she's his wife. Anyway, the GOP people who are all about "We don't know enough about Miers, We need to find out her stance on various issues," etc. Somehow that argument sounds strange coming from them after they bashed the lefties for making the same arguments regarding Roberts. I guess all politicians are hypocrites, left and right.
