Lightning strikes twice? Plus: Blair weather friends. More Rudy reactions. Winning by losing? Much more on the Mufti McCarrick. And a lot else.

So let me see if I have this straight. An ex-Senator that was a putative Republican from New Hampshire, where I have been exiled, convinces Bush 41 that David Souter was a perfect pick to assuage the conservative base and rein in the SCOTUS’s activist bent. Now we have another putative Republican from New England (I think from New Hampshire) convincing Bush 43 that Harriet Miers was a perfect pick to assuage the conservative base and rein in the SCOTUS’s activist bent.
p>Hmmm. Though the Bush family has resided in Texas for many years now, they are New England Yankees from the elite of Connecticut and maintain a family home on the rock strewn coast of socialistic Maine. Could it be that the Yankee heritage of the Bush family does not allow them to get a realistic picture of what “conservative” means, or that they just simply can’t fully get rid of the Northeastern stereotype of true conservatives and their disdain for them as unwashed rednecks. br> — Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire /p> p> KYOTO RACKET br> Re: Patrick J.
