There was definitely a lot of venting I was hearing this morning. Heck, I was adding to it some. But even if she turns out to be Harriet Scalia Miers, so many on the right could have used an obvious Scalia type. So many want to support the president.

I should go have a three-martini lunch and see how I feel after.

And–hello–Ponnuru is a lot younger than 60.
