'Right Wing' Questions About Miers are 'Sexist,' Dem Charges

Schumer believes criticism of Miers from the "hard right" is based on conservatives' misunderstanding of American values.

"What they don't get is they don't represent America. And it's amazing that George Bush has pulled this off for so long," Schumer said. "He kept the hard right placated and, at the same time, has not alienated most of America. But the piper is calling and it's calling on Harriet Miers and that's why he has such trouble."

I find it funny that Sen. Schumer believes he represents mainstream America. Maybe he should run for president in '08 and see how far he gets.
