Paul Mirengoff says Miers should withdraw. He says Miers’s 1993 speech is the speech of a “liberal.” He is right.
The chorus is growing among pundits: Miers should withdraw. Unfortunately, I still think it won’t make much difference.
UPDATE: Add another voice to the chorus: the speech has caused Captain Ed to officially oppose Miers as well.

Perhaps, but I trust that the irony of your choice of words is not lost on you.
[That's very funny, and I mean it sincerely. The obvious difference, of course, is that I *name* the members of my chorus. And Paul Mirengoff is the latest *name*. (Btw, read that speech yet? Any comments?) -- Patterico]
