Yikes! Good thing it's not a beauty contest.

If you're reading this and you're a liberal, put down the hooka pipe, pause the DVD of "Chicago" and hear me out.

Imagine for a second that George Bush isn't stupid. If you can't do that, at least admit to yourself that he's smarter than you or anyone you voted for because ya'll have been slinging shit for years and none of it's stuck yet.

Next, concerning the Miers nomination and her subsequent withdrawal, pretend that you've been played. Now quit pretending because it's happening. A few of you have figured this out, Harry Reid being one of them.

.

Most left wing idiots are tripping over each other to take credit for the withdrawal because they believe Bush has been left with egg on his face. They think his base has turned on him. Libs who are retarded to a lesser degree know otherwise. He assumed the media would spin it up and they played right into his hands, AGAIN. To the contrary, Bush has been COUNTING on his base to react the way they did the whole time.

.

The small rift that was created in the GOP by the Miers nomination was a wake up call to fence riders like John McCain. I'm predicting the next name that comes out of the hat will be decidedly conservative. McCain and his little band of McRepublicans will be forced to jump on board or else they'll bear the full brunt of blame from Republican supporters.

Because no one wants to ride in that hot seat, everyone will be on board and fully supportive of the next nominee.

.

Effectively, Bush caused a little derision in the first quarter in order to rein in the left-leaning Republicans in the final two minutes of the game. Sometimes you gotta get a little mud on your jersey to score a touchdown.

That's life in The Beltway.
