Saber's Quiet

I tend to agree with Brad on this. Roberts is the pick. He'll most likely be confirmed. He most likely won't be filibustered. In any case, nothing will progress on that front for weeks yet, not until the Senate hearings start. So drop it. Don't spend the next month or two saber-rattling and talking about arrested kids with french fry breath. There'll be plenty of time for that later. For now, the Roberts announcement was moved up a week two knock Rove out of the news. Had Bush chosen a nutball, we could've wailed and beaten our breasts for the next six weeks. But in their rush for good press, the President chose a guy that there's nothing much to say about. So let's not say anything. Let him drift out of the news cycle and, in a day or two, make it all Rove, all the time. That's where their weak spot is, let's not lose focus and attack at the only smart thing they've done in months.
