Ummm, Riiiiight... That'd Be Grrrreaattt...
Did anyone else catch "high"lights of the President's press conference today? The press corps and Dems, natch, as well as some conservatives, surprisingly, are having the same reaction, namely, "Who the #@(%! is this woman, and how is she even REMOTELY qualified to sit on the Supreme Court??" The Prez claims she'll be the same woman in 20 years that she is now. He claims she's a constructionist, not a judicial activist. That she'll exercise modesty and careful jurisprudence. What did we expect him to say?
I, for one, am at a loss. Gratified she's a woman, yes, but at a loss. How can we put her on the bench when she's never been a judge, at any level?

You know, when you think about, he has quite the harem. There's Condi, Karen Hughes, and now "Harry". What is it about him these ladies find so irresistable? Is it his biting wit? His fervor for exercise? His cute bum? Its a mystery to me, but there must be something there that doesn't translate on camera.
Heh, heh, I loved the comment attributed to the President that she is the "best qualified candidate in the country" for this vacancy. Like her, dislike her, support her, don't support her, this is an utterly ridiculous statement. I'm still taking a positive view of her, until convinced otherwise, and I don't buy THAT statement for a millisecond. Even most of the crazies that I rail against are more QUALIFIED. Them, and many, many others.
I guess someone forgot to remove that bullet point from the talking points when they erased "Roberts" and inserted "Miers" before handing it to the President. All the other comments about construction, humility, etc. sound exactly the same, practically verbatim.
