OUCH:

The Miers debacle is beginning to remind us of New Coke–a product introduced in an effort to expand market share, which instead infuriated loyal customers. If Bush wants to “save his presidency,” the way to do so is clear: withdraw the Miers nomination and reintroduce Court Classic.

You know, if the White House had been reading the blogs, they wouldn’t have been blindsided by this reaction, as they seem to have been.
