um, i'm no miers fan, but saying that she's allowing that seems a bit "blame the victim" to me. what power does she have, really, to say, "don't call me a flower!" to the prez. hmm?
She had the ability years ago to be more assertive, and while she may not be in the position that she's in today, she nonetheless allowed herself to be manipulated and used as a token.
i see your point. but to be devil's advocate, had she been more assertive years ago, it's likely she wouldn't be where she is today. as a woman and a conservative, i'd say that'd be damn near impossible. don't get me wrong, i'm not siding with her. give me a woman like pelosi any day of the week.
It's damn near impossible to make political progress in any party if you shake the boat too much. Conservatives don't have a monopoly on entrenched instiutional structure.
