An all around fair guy

I didn't realize it was a news organization's job to tell us, "there was irony in that."

GOP lawmakers sounded relieved to be rid of the Miers appointment, which collapsed last week after it became clear she faced an uphill climb in winning confirmation.
"Let's give Judge Alito a fair up-or-down vote, not left or right," said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D.
He was one of several Republicans to say so, and there was irony in that.
After battering Democrats for years about denying GOP judicial candidates yes-or-no votes, Republicans eagerly acquiesced in Miers' withdrawal without either hearings in the Judiciary Committee or a vote on the Senate floor.


Powerline quotes that hack Fournier, a contributor to the above story, directly as saying, "With no sign of irony, Republicans demanded that Alito get a vote in the Senate - something they denied Miers."

You know, Ron, this really isn't that hard. Just report the facts; we'll get the irony if it's there. If you really want to go in the tank for your friends, then go ahead and juxtapose, here, Miers for Alito. But don't throw in the "irony" line. Your guts will twist in a knot, because you'll so badly want to. And that, Ron, is the feeling that tells you you're a biased hack.

There is a difference. She never got throught the process. Several judges did and were then allowed to be voted on.
