Politician tells truth

This may be the first time a politician has told the truth when they said, "I have been greatly honored and humbled by" blah blah blag.

Is this a good thing for the court? Who knows. A coin flip with Miers, or a coin flip with the next one -- unless (but I've lost enough faith in Bush to doubt this will happen) -- he actually nominates someone who will stand on principle and precipitate an open fight in the senate over things that will make George Voinovich cry.

UPDATE: Daily prayer: Lord, next month, please let me forget Trent Lott's name.
