so long, and thanks for all the fish

Miers has thrown in the towel and withdrawn her name from consideration as a Supreme Court justice. Some random thoughts:

• Good for her--the hearings were going to be ugly for the GOP.
• I wonder if Bush is still determined to nominate a woman? If so, the list may be short.
• Having survived the Miers experiment, it will be funny if Bush nominates Alberto Gonzales.
• Kind of like it would be funny to survive a bout with cancer, then get run over by a truck.
• On second thought, that's not very funny.
