The Best thing about the Circus coming to town...

Is you know they will leave.

But in the United States, the circus will remain for nearly another three and a half years (unless Fitz let's all of us progressives totally go on a drunken celebratory bender -- finally after 4 decades of secular humanism some debauchery!).

When it comes to Harriet Miers the clowns are just beginning to emerge from the tiny car:

Get ready for a whole new Harriet. After a disastrous two weeks, White House officials say they hope to relaunch the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court by moving from what they call a "biographical phase" to an "accomplishment phase." In other words, stop debating her religion and personality and start focusing on her resume as a pioneering female lawyer of the Southwest. "We got a little wrapped around the axle," an exhausted White House official said. "As the focus becomes less on who she's not and more on who she is, that's a better place to be."

Yes, the "accomplishment phase". I guess I always thought that one's accomplishments were part of one's biography, but I guess not.

Tah-dah!

Impressed?

Well, she managed to accomplish getting her buddy to nominate her for the Supreme Court despite a pitiful lack of other qualifications.

That is quite an accomplishment when you think about it.
