Bad week for Bush, or bad week for liberals? The mainstream media is spinning this past week as the former, but I would say it's the latter. Here is what liberals have to fret about today:

1. No indictment of Karl Rove. The media has been salivating for weeks over the possibility of deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove being indicted in the Plame CIA leak case. Today was supposed to be the big day, but Rove has not been indicted. Rove's lawyer said he was told by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's office that investigators had "made no decision about whether or not to bring charges" and would continue their probe into Rove's conduct. In other words, they will continue to try to find a scandal to hang on the Bush administration. They never learn.

2. Harriet Miers has withdrawn her Supreme Court nomination. I know the media is spinning this as a defeat for Bush, but it's a victory for conservatives. Bush has now been sent a message by conservatives that they want a nominee who is more qualified and likely to rule according to the constitution. We'll see who he nominates next.

3. The economy grew at a robust pace of 3.8% during the third quarter. Yes, good news for America is bad news for liberals. Liberals were predicting a major economic slowdown as the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita were felt. But the economy showed stronger growth during the third quarter than during the second quarter (when it grew at 3.3%), and the rate of inflation was also lower than expected.

So, don't be fooled by liberal media spin that this is "one of the darkest days of Bush's presidency". Liberals are having a far worse day than he is.
