well, if you ask me …

This is actually the one quality I really like about Bush - his “stubborn confidence in his own judgement.”

“I know her. I know her heart. I know what she believes,” said the president last week, after he nominated Miers to the United States Supreme Court. “I know her well enough to be able to say that she’s not going to change, that 20 years from now she’ll be the same person with the same philosophy that she is today.”In other words: trust me. For a president under attack recently for staffing his government with hacks and cronies, the appointment of his personal lawyer—who has never judged a day in her life—to the nation’s highest court showed a certain stubborn confidence in his own judgment.Mild About Harriet - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com
