Doublefaced

Bush yesterday:


"Harriet Miers is a trusted adviser on whom I have long relied for straightforward advice," Bush said at the time. "Harriet has the keen judgment and discerning intellect necessary to be an outstanding counsel."

Bush today:

The president also said he did not recall ever talking to Ms. Miers, whom he has known for more than a decade, about her personal views on abortion, and he reiterated that he was a "pro-life president" who nonetheless had no litmus test on the issue for judicial candidates.


If the president knew her well enough to know her character and her soul, how does he have no idea what her positions are on key issues?

I'll let you figure this one out yourselves.
