How Does He Sleep At Night
Reading the newest Jim Wooten column makes me think that either he knows he is lying (which makes me question how he can sleep) or he is some sort of Republican Party robot (also, how would he sleep?). The gist of Wooten's column is this: the left will oppose anything Bush does no matter what.
But that ignores a few things, notably that Democratic leader Harry Reid was the first person to say good things about her (after voting against the Roberts nomination). That's a pretty glaring omission of fact, if you ask me.
Then Wooten borrows a page from Ann Coulter. He's laid out his premise: that the left is making unfair accusations and opposition to Miers. His proof? That commenters have trashed her for going to SMU instead of a top tier law school. But, the first person to raise this charge was Ann Coulter (get it, borrowing a page). If you didn't know that, you'd read this column and think some elitist Democrat that went to Harvard Law was saying Ivy Leaguers only need apply. But it wasn't, and Jim Wooten knows it, and yet he misleads anyway.
Must be a nice world of delusion he lives in. Republicans can trash talk a choice their own President makes and somehow its the Democrats fault.
Extra: A much better conservative take on Miers.

Heh, I shot him a quick email, which I will reprint here verbatim:
Hey there sport, Regarding your latest column ("the left hates Bush, blah blah blah" ... "liberal bogeymen, blah blah blah"), you might want to pay attention to where the fiercest opposition to Miers' appointment is coming from: your own party. The ship is sinking, get off while you can!Love,
Rusty

I knew it! Ann Coulter is really a liberal! I knew it the whole time!

In fairness to Mr. Wooten, a Georgia Democrat that went to Columbia Law did say something like that.***
But the site-stats suggest that Wooten doesn't read my blog . . .
*** SMU?! Seriously?
