Allard and Miers, sittin' in a tree

The Denver Daily News reports that newly released Miers memos pledge "unwavering opposition" to abortion. Not surprisingly, my least favorite senator has sprung to her defense. Allard, apparently speaking in the royal tense, said,
"We felt genuinely that we could work with her."

Am I the only one who suspects that the only reason Allard still has his job is because Colorado voters simply refused to elect someone with a mustache?
