I have no reason to question that Drudge accurately reports Kristol's opinion.
I still don't see what torpedoing Miers does for you. He didn't pick her to spite the right. He picked her because the political calculus was that anyone the right was really pushing would not be confirmable. So, instead he picked someone with a sufficiently blank slate that wasn't unconfirmable from the left's view and that he convince the right to trust him on. Having the right not trust him doesn't increase the viability of a candidate they like actually getting confirmed. So you're just delaying the problem by squawking.
