Miers and Krauthammer

The funny thing about Miers withdrawing her nomination is that she did precisely what columnist Charles Krauthammer had said she should do a week before. The Washington Post summarizes what Krauthammer said and what his response to the withdrawl was:

It was Krauthammer who offered the White House last Friday what he called "the perfectly honorable way to solve the conundrum" by using a refusal to turn over Miers's internal memos as a fig leaf for withdrawing her Supreme Court bid -- which is precisely what she did.

"I guess she reads my column," the Washington Post and Fox News commentator said yesterday. "All that was missing was the footnote."

Ouch.
