NY Times:

Dr. Richard Land, a top official of the Southern Baptist Convention and a close ally of the White House, said the president had named Ms. Miers, a friend and adviser whose legal views were virtually unknown to the public, to avoid a climactic Senate fight.

"The president took the advice of my East Texas grandmother: If you can skin a cat without getting the room all bloody, why not do it that way?" Mr. Land said.

Best analogy ever.
