I blame Chris Matthews for e-mails like this:

As a loyal reader I was surprised to find hysteria and panic in the Corner today. To me, today’s reax to the Miers nomination is the Corner’s lowest hour. There was no, or very little, calm and measured consideration of the President’s choice, and absolutely no willingness to give him the much earned benefit of the doubt. Only infantile tantruming over a decision that didn’t fit your neat little description of what the nominee should look like. Shameful. I hope one day you will have the courage to re-post the reactions in the Corner today and perhaps offer a mea culpa, along with John, Peter, Mark, et al.
W is way ahead of you on this one. He knows her better, by far, than any of the other potential nominees. He has undoubtedly had private conversations with her about previous SCOTUS decisions and has a firm grasp on which justices she will most likely emulate. And she will sail through nomination. I can’t believe I have to say to Corner conservatives what I’ve been saying to liberals for 5 years… trust the President, he’s smarter than you think he is.
Your emoting, fragile trust in our President, and willingness to jump ship will hopefully be tempered by a little hindsight. Regardless, the Corner has dropped a few notches in my book today.

The majority of the e-mails I’ve gotten today have been from worried supporters of the president, many who printed the “I Want to Believe” post. But there are these too. The GOP better hope they represent enough 2006 givers.
