I Flippin' Told You

I've finally had some time to check out Bush's nominee, Samuel Alito and am quickly learning that Bush has nominated the staunch conservative that everybody wanted.
A staunch white male to replace a moderate white female. Sad. Sad. Sad.
I truly think that Bush and Co. never thought that Miers would make it past confirmation hearings, but that by nominating her they could get the "woman gesture" out of the way.
I looked around a little bit to see if anyone else had this same impression, but haven't found anything yet... Ok. Can't be late for my second day!
