It seems like everyone is apoplectic about Bush’s new Supreme Court nomination, but I didn’t spend three hours in line to early vote in 2004 and then stay up all night live-blogging the election returns just to turn on Bush now. I think we should all give Bush the benefit of the doubt (again) and each say something nice about Harriet Miers. I’ll start:
* She seems to have excellent posture.
* “Harriet” sounds like “Harrier Jet,” and Harrier jets are cool.
* If her pick is cronyism, then it further proves that Bush has a wide variety of cronies in the areas of gender and race.
Now, everyone else write something else nice about Harriet Miers in the comments.
She’s a chick. 🙂
Okay… she’s a chick who hopefully likes guns like Mr. Shiny. If she’s best buds with President Bush… I’m sure she does. Awwwww yeeeeaaahhh. 🙂
she’s not Ginsberg
she’s not Ginsberg
She doesn’t wear an over-abundance of make-up, nor does she wear eyeglasses that are 19 sizes too large for her face.
P.S. I was hoping for someone that was the polar opposite of Ginsberg… but how are we supposed to know? Maybe she is… but if the dems were pushing for her… I kinda doubt it.
P.P.S. How come I haven’t been able to download any new podcasts since Sep. 12? I miss em. 🙁
She’s smarter than her boss.
She’s from Texas! (Not much else you can say that’s nicer than that.)
She’s not a left lane vigilanty, or a oblivian and definitly not Hillary Clinton.

Harriet Miers could take aquaman… at least two out of three times.
She is still breathing.
She has no judicial experience, which means Democrats can’t give her an anal probe over her previous rulings.
She doesn’t spell her name with a “y”.
She’s smarter than Grendle.
1) She’s an evangelical Christian Sunday School teacher.
2) She’s from Texas, yee-hah.
3) She’s been working on the War on Terror for the past four years inside the White House.
4) She’s run a business, dealing with government regulations, affirmative action, etc.
5) Bush trusts her.
Her elevation to SCOTUS might dramatically increase the number of people who spell my name correctly
Harriet Miers has pledged to run in-house seminars that will teach associate justices and SCOTUS clerks how to crush lefty skulls with their bare hands.
Caligula put a horse into his senate, so how bad can “Dirty Harriet” be?
When he takes off that mask and reveals to the senate that by confirming mediocre lawyer Harriet Miers, they have actually unwwittingly just confirmed Justice Robert Bork, we will have sweet, sweet revenge.
She’s not Gonzalez.
She can eat just one Lays potato chip.
She wasn’t singlehandedly responsible for the decline of reptiles and the rise of mammals, but she was on the committee.
She laughed at Janet Reno’s shoes.
She’s not Susan Sarandon or Barbara Streisand.
She’s way more attractive than Hillary or Helen Thomas, but then…so is nearly anyone else on the planet, so I guess that really isn’t much of a compliment, is it?
She’s not Sandy Day!
She’s available!
No moving expense to petition Congress for when they confirm her! Won’t need to raise taxes.
She waxes her upper lip!
She is not and has never been a Judge.
That…my friends, is the best part.
Papa Ray
She’s not a mexican
She is willing to bring donuts and coffee for everyone and hold the door open for them so Stephen Breyer doesn’t have to anymore. And, um, he’s even older than she is.
She is a conservative ideologue with an agenda, and no judicial brainwashing to get in her way. She will author the opinion that overrules Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. She will affirm that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental individual right to keep and bear arms for personal and civil defense, and will apply it to the States via the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. And the left will be on record saying that she is OK and will have to answer to their base for endorsing her. This nomination will end the democRat party forever.
I want some of that shit you’re smokin’.
Something good to say…..hmmmmm…..she’s probably post-menopausal. So she’s got that goin for her.

OK!!
I got an error statement the first time.
She sports a very pre-Rowe v.Wade hairstyle. That’s good news. I’d be nervous if she wore a spiked hairdo.
And her earings aren’t on her nose. That’s good news! And her name is Harriet! That’s good news!
Speaking of that…
A reporter asked President Bush what his thoughts were on Roe Vs. Wade.
Bush responded, “I don’t care how people get out of New Orleans, as long as they hurry!”
Oh…wait…you probably wanted something relevant to the conversation at hand.
Hmm…
She, uh, doesn’t think the above joke is very funny.
There. All is well.
There are reliable reports that she knows how to read at or above a 6th grade level, which (if true) makes her better qualified for the Supreme Court than the 7 S.C. judges who supported the majority position in Roe v. Wade, and at least 5 of the S.C. judges who still support it.
She’s W’s secret Ninja.
Watch the other Justices mysteriously expire soon. Then he can run the table muaahhahahahaha…..
Plus she’s a Ninja but not a monkey.
yeah…. i’d hit it.
Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but something tells me she could be a ninja, throw down some great rulings and serve justice in a way that no one could have ever predicted.
A) I thought only oppressed minorities in Ohio and Florida had to stand in line on election day.
B) She’s not Janet Reno.
C) She prevents liberals from painting Bush as an extremist who will use the court to “turn back the clock” (whatever that means) thus ensuring that “moderate” voters will not torpedo Republicans in the ’06 midterms (at least not based on SCOTUS nominations) thereby allowing us to build on our majority in the Senate. Once we have a filibuster-proof majority in ’07 Bush can nominate in-your-face-conservatives to replace Ginsberg and/or Stevens.
She is not afraid to look her age.
Does she do windows?
Bush is STUCK ON STUPID
she’s a mammal….
She ruined the Lefty meme that conservatives all march lock step w/evertything the President says and does.
I’m sure its a Rovian conspiracy.
