In the spirit of the Fitzmas season, with its sacred rituals of gloating, I couldn't help but bring up a direct hit by "Wry the Greek", posted as a diary titled Harry Reid, That Sneaky Devil! after hearing of the Miers withdrawal.  (Isn't that a medical procedure?)

You've all heard the expression that the enemy of my friend is also my enemy...What about the friend of my enemy is also my enemy?  The way that Harry Reid and some other Dems are reacting to the nomination of Harriet Miers is brilliant...but is it on purpose?
