Bush knew II?
(Or, the scent of fake dissent . . .)

More thinking the unthinkable.

Considering William Kristol's (and his father's) status as the architect of compassionate conservatism, might this apparent disagreement have been orchestrated? What if Kristol wasn't really "Disappointed, Depressed
and Demoralized
," but wanted Bush to nominate Miers to stir up the Republicans, fire up the "base"?

I'm probably being overly negative, but I smell fake dissent.

Yeah, I know. Fake but real.

(But not in the traditional sense....)

My own theory, FWIW, is that Miers was put up to provoke this controversy within the right so that the Dems would work to confirm her. It is a stealth strategy - an anti-Souter strategy. The Dems haven't caught on.

That theory has occurred to me, too, but do you think it's possible that the anti-Souter strategy worked too well?
