Message? Where's The Stinkin' Message?

Ed Gillespie, former usher of the Miers nomination, was on Medved today, and right out of the chute, he was asked the question I asked this morning, the most obvious question of all: Why didn't you guys consider that the Senate would demand documents you would have to protect by executive priviledge?

And to a national radio audience, Gillespie responded (I'm paraphrasing here):

Uh, that's a good question. I guess, uh, we could have done better there. I'm not really sure. We, uh, thought she could stand on her long history of cases and, uh, her court experience, and ...

If that's the best the White House can do, it explains a lot.

Maybe Ed deserves a pass, though. There just might not be a good answer to that question.
