I think we just ought to change this topic of news to "and now, from the whackjob in chief"
and I quote:
Dear sock-puppet;
It's not up to you. While I doubt that those spineless toads in Congress actually will manage to block Miers appointment, this is not something you should sound so damned certain about.
President Bush predicted Friday that Harriet Miers will be confirmed to the Supreme Court despite grumbling from conservatives that has led a few to call for the president to withdraw her nomination. Asked he if would rule out ever seeing Miers' name withdrawn, Bush did not answer directly, substituting instead words of confidence about her confirmation process. "She is going to be on the bench," he said. "She'll be confirmed."

You sound like the republicans did when they were trying to hang Clinton out to dry for lying to a congressional committee about screwing Monica Lewinsky.
Why shouldn't he be smug? Fuck, if everybody treated me like they treat Bush, I'd be a monumental asshole too. We're lucky he's NOT as vindictive as me.
It's all just meaningless trivia, whether Miers gets on the court or not. It's no more important that Clinton screwing the White House help, we survived Clinton, and we'll survive Bush just fine.
