BUSH BASHING....We already know that lots of conservative are skeptical

Harriet Miers, but what's more interesting is the number of conservatives

are turning their guns on George Bush himself. Here's a sampler:

Steve Dillard: I am done with President Bush.

John Podhoretz: I think this was a pick made out of droit de seigneur - an

the president and this is what I want" arrogance.

Peter Robinson: What people see in this is the Bush of the first debate,

Bush, the peevish rich boy who expects to get his way because it's his

Andrew Sullivan: Boy, does this pick remind us of who GWB is: about as

a person as anyone who has ever held his office. Now the base knows how

rest of us have felt for close to five years.

Stephen Bainbridge: I got a lot of criticism for saying that George Bush

pissing away the conservative moment via his Iraq policies....With this

Bush is now peeing on the movement.

Rod Dreher: As for me, I am really, really disappointed in the president.

Bill Kristol: It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that President Bush

David Frum: The record shows I fear that the president's judgment has

Jonah Goldberg: Bush's instincts about where his principles should be are

right. But in this case the principle seems to be that Bush's instincts

principle enough.
