JUST DELETED FROM DAVID FRUM'S BLOG (re Miers)

http://shows.airamericaradio.com/alfrankenshow/node/3507




David Frum, former White House speechwriter, has come down hard against Miers. From his blog at the National Review:

Harriet Miers is a taut, nervous, anxious personality. It is impossible to me to imagine that she can endure the anger and abuse - or resist the blandishments - that transformed, say, Anthony Kennedy into the judge he is today.

Nor is it safe for the president's conservative supporters to defer to the president's judgment and say, "Well, he must know best." The record shows I fear that the president's judgment has always been at its worst on personnel matters.

But earlier this morning, he came down even harder--and then quietly backpedaled. Some time between 9:52 AM and 10:18 AM this morning, he removed a paragraph from between the two paragraphs posted above. Here it is, recovered from the cache in my Google Desktop search:

She rose to her present position by her absolute devotion to George Bush. I mentioned last week that she told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met. To flatter on such a scale a person must either be an unscrupulous dissembler, which Miers most certainly is not, or a natural follower. And natural followers do not belong on the Supreme Court of the United States.

did Frum's phone ring? was there hard knocking at his door?
is Frum afraid?

You might recall that Frum himself was one of those hired by the corrupt drunk whose judgement "has always been at its worst on personnel matters."

In fact, he's the hack who came up with the "Axis of E-e-e-e-e-e-evil"

But someone (not Frum) changed it.

I DO remember that Frum got fired because his wife told somebody in the press that her husband had written it...

I do recall that none of the "Axis" had even diplomatic contact with each other...and that two had been at war with each other not so long ago...

Long as we're discussiong Chimpy's faulty judgement, and all...

Kind of important.

argues how despite her being a natural follower, she will hoodwink and cuddle the court into accepting pro-Bush, pro-Executive, anti-Republic decisions because of her strong personal virtues.
