Dobson, the influential founder of the conservative evangelical group Focus on the Family, has said he is supporting Miers’ nomination in part because of something he has been told but cannot divulge.
He has acknowledged speaking with Karl Rove, Bush’s political adviser, about the president’s pick before it was announced.
Fortunately, Sen. Arlen Specter is going to get to the bottom of this.
Rove’s making his secret phone calls in support of Miers? So not good. But not unexpected. Some folks, however, think Dobson may be calling off the rightmost dogs and hedging his bets. And others think Miers is a particularly nasty and insidious kind of cipher.
