Folks, let me be clear. I wasn’t saying that I thought this theory is genius or that I hadn’t heard it before. Lots of readers are sending me links to blogs or claiming they said it first, etc etc. I’m sure that’s all true. The idea came up from the get-go. My point was that I’m getting more and more email from people saying that must be his strategy, which I take as a sign that Miers’s nomination is in even more obvious trouble. “I meant to do that” is one of the truly desperate defenses.
