With friends like this...

I was surprised today, not by Swoopes' announcement, but by the one by Harriet Miers. I really thought she was going to tough it out and go to what would have been one of the oddest confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court.

I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised. When the darling of the right, Ann Coulter, started attacking a fellow conservative, you had to know Miers was doomed. As usual, Ann took a fair and balanced look at Ms. Miers:

"However nice, helpful, prompt and tidy she is, Harriet Miers isn't qualified to play a Supreme Court justice on `The West Wing,' let alone to be a real one."
----Ann Coulter
