I am, like many, in a quite a dilemma over Harriet Miers. She’s really quite the riddle.
I don’t know who she is. Then again, I can’t recall ever hearing of George W. Bush before 1999 either.
But back to Ms. Miers.
I don’t know her opinion on a lot of things.
I don’t know how she likes her coffee. What is her paper/plastic preference. On the subject of toothpaste: does she roll? Does she squeeze? Does she have toothpaste in one of those fancy pumps?
The topic of her pizza topping preferences is a total mystery to me and potentially may always be. That is, of course, assuming I don’t hire some sort of private investigater to find these sorts of things out.
Is she Hell’s hand-old-maid-en. Is she Lady Liberty’s unmarried aunt that no one ever talks about?
She might just be the uberwomensch of conservative juris prudence or she might just turn out to be Souter II or possibly another Sandra Day O’Communist.
But then again maybe what we know won’t hurt us. Or perhaps, ignorance IS bliss. OR as my old friend G.I. Joe used to say if “knowing is half the battle” perhaps not knowing is the other half of the battle?
Harriet Miers? Could she BE more vague? I don’t know.
Maybe?
Of note is the fact that President Bush Sr. did not know Souter personally; he was recommended to him by stupid colleagues.
The current President Bush knows Miers personally, so he likely knows how she would rule as a Justice.
Exactly. Me either.
She did, however, give money to Gore’s presidential campaign.
I heard of George W. Bush back when he first ran for Governor of Texas in 1994. Doesn’t anyone follow politics?
Is that something like manners?
I like the picture! Don’t show AquaDope…he will get wood and then you will have…well…water logged…nevermind…he’s a fag anyway!
Well, I liked the picture. I’m looking forward to your next post.
Proving that you can’t trust a monkey, you got Justice O’Connor all wrong. She’s a huge pro-business justice. She’s just a disappointment on social issues.
(Hardly an O’Communist.)
O’Communist reads better than O’Socialist.
