Political Chin Music
Robert Novak argued early last week that the NARAL ad defaming Supreme Court Justice nominee John Roberts, which was withdrawn late last week (and the communications director responsible for it resigned to 'spend more time with his family'), was a brush back pitch (high and inside), a little chin music, for the President to keep in mind when he nominates someone to become the next Supreme Court Chief Justice.
The Democrats, Novak argued, are saying: "If we'll do this to a squeaky clean middle-of-the-road conservative, about whom some stauncher conservatives (cough AnnCoulter cough) have reservations, imagine what we'll do to a real dyed-in-the-wool conservative."
Could be.
I bet, however, that the President steps back up and crowds the plate.
