It's hard to look at the right wing blogs debate the Miers nomination.
For years now, the strategy behind the right has been to attack any opposition. Attack Kerry, attack Dean, attack Kennedy, attack McCain. If they have a different opinion, attack.
And now, with the right divided on their next nominee for the Supreme Court, they have no mechanism for reasoned rhetoric. The two camps cannot communicate, debate, or conciliate.
All they can do is attack each other.
This issue may yet give the left the Christmas gift they've been wishing for - a permanently divided right. And it will be all our own fault if it happens.

Well, perhaps if you define "attack" as "accurately quote them and hold their statements and behavior up to public scrutiny." Otherwise, I'd have to disagree.
Besides, why should we let you lefties have all the fun?
Please excuse my apparent intrusion. I just wanted to thank you for visiting Teh Blog Father recently.
If you are still interested, you can submit your blog today. I'd be happy to review and link to it, in return for the telling of a joke, quote or fact.
Thank you.
