After Democrats whacked Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork his name became a verb. Instead of whacking someboody you Bork him. Now that Miers has been Bushwhacked we have a new verb. Krauthammered.
In his column last Friday Charles Krauthammer sketched out the script for dumping Miers. Republican senators would demand to see Miers' White House documents. In order to protect the principle of executive privilege the only honorable choice would be to dump the nominee. Bush followed Krauthammer's script to the letter. And you thought the president was being led around by a dark Cheney cabal.
