(2005-10-07) — President George Bush today acknowledged that before appointing Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court he failed to ask himself the question that he habitually applies to such decisions: ‘What would Kristol do?’
William Kristol, the neo-conservative editor of The Weekly Standard, has led the Republican outcry against a nominee who, conservatives fear, secretly favors abortion kiosks in shopping malls, and who may view the Constitution as metaphorical poetry.
The president, who wears a WWKD reminder bracelet, said, “I guess I got caught up in the moment, and tempted by the allure of appointing a justice who actually speaks in language I can understand.”
Upon hearing of the president’s remark today, Mr. Kristol said, “Acknowledging your sin is only half of repentance, but I stand ready to graciously forgive if the president will turn and follow me.”
