I May Pay for This One.

Hat tip to Stop the ACLU
*giddy update* welcome my fellow RWN-ers...sit a spell, take yer shoes off...yall come back now, ya hear?

I am about to commit a few nearly unforgivable sins...at least as far as right-of-center bloggers go. I am calling some of my fellow bloggers' recent irrationality and (apparent) developing hatred for our President.
First off, I'll start with on of the biggest... Michelle Malkin. It stings just typing this. Let me start off by saying that I in no way esteem myself to be anywhere near as great as Ms. Malkin, and have defended her on many occasions. Also, I have a great deal of respect for her both as a journalist and conservative. However, since the Miers nomination, it seems as if maybe she's being a little too critical of every move in the White House. Case in point:

So, the First Lady pulled out the sexism card in her defense of Harriet Miers on NBC's Today Show.
Matt Lauer lapped it up.
Did the White House not inform Mrs. Bush that some of the most vocal criticism and questioning of the nomination comes from conservative women? Or does she buy into the Left's conservative-women-are-self-loathing-traitors-to-their-gender line, too?
Guess this is the thanks we get for defending the First Lady in the face of real anti-woman sentiment.
With all due respect, perhaps Mrs. Bush should stick to telling horse jokes.

Ouch. C'mon, Ms. Malkin, here's how it went down: Matt asked Mrs. Bush if she thaught that the recent outrage among conservatives may have some sexist roots.
Her response? "It's possible."
Not exactly promoting the idea now, was she?
The "Coalition of the 'Illin" really is allowing whatever anger that they may be feeling take over. It's sad that some of our best and brightest on the right have resorted to the behaviour most often found on the left.
Among those who are "'illin" is the man who inspired me to start this puny little weblog in the first place...John Hawkins. (In case you were counting, that's nearly unforgivable sin #2) It seems as if now, if you want the epitomy of Bush bashing...go to Right Wing News.

Guys (and girls!) we've convinced ourselves that W owes us something because we've supported him while the MSM and the rest of the left were fighting tooth and claw. Let me ask you this one question... Did we not support the war on terror and the war in Iraq because we thought this course of action was truly laudable?
The President only owes us (in this situation) a pick that He feels wil be the strongest constitutional conservative. Maybe in this age of information, those of us who are "in the know" now who wouldn't have been before feel like we should know everyone who is anyone in the running for a seat in the SCOTUS. Even if this appointment is an abysmal failure, the worse we will come out with is another O'Connor. However, all signs indicate that we should be getting another Thomas...maybe better.
Well, that's my rant. I may have bitten off a big one, but it's better to post these things...the wife doesn't like it when I hold it in she says it turns my face all wrinkly. ;)
