'Miered': A Borking by Another Name?

Robert Bork's failed bid for the Supreme Court in 1987 spawned the verb "borked," defined loosely as getting rejected in an unseemly, even unfair, manner. Now there's talk online about whether Harriet Miers' withdrawal of her high court nomination will give rise to the term "miered." What's the difference between the two terms? According to at least one blog, it all depends on who's firing the torpedo at the unfortunate nominee in question.
