Quag-Miers Watch Update

I've not commented on Hugh Hewitt's rah-rah support of the White House's defense of Harriet Miers, but I have to say that this jumps the shark:

Question: Well into his second term, mired in scandal and obvious unending lies and deepening crisis, did any senior Democrat turn on Bill Clinton? One year into his second term, and days after a huge and historically significant election in Iraq and a month after yet another unfair savaging at the hands of the MSM over Katrina, George Bush surveys his allegedly supportive pundits and the GOP Senate majority that he made, and he finds what?

Is the GOP incapable of governing as a majority?

Is Hugh really suggesting that knee-jerk Clintonista wagon-circling is a model the GOP should want to emulate? Especially on an issue as incredibly important as a SCOTUS nomination? Or that as a party we've no right to say, "Great job on Iraq, sorry you got screwed over Katrina, but you don't get a bye on Miers - go back and try again"?

Sorry, but if we've stooped to the level of wanting to hold on to the White House merely for the sake of holding on to it without being able to examine and debate the wisdom of what we're doing with it, then we don't deserve to be governing as a majority.

Yips! to Weapons of Mass Discussion, who put the hurt on Hugh.

UPDATE: Ann Althouse suggests that the White House might be getting ready to toss Miers a la the Krautheimer Exit Strategy we praised a couple days ago. Here's hoping.

Clenched-Fist Yips! to the Commissar.

UPDATE DEUX: Oh, and just to make it O-fficial for N.Z. Bear, we're opposed to the nomination.
