JUDICIAL TEMPERAMENT

“A pitbull in size 6 shoes” — that’s what the Bullshitter-in-Chief has called Harriet Miers, right, the trusted adviser and legal gofer he nominated this morning to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court. What does that say about Miers’s judicial temperament, let alone his arrogance? Next question …
So here it is: Did she really say (this comes courtesy of Salon.com’s Daou Report) what David Frum is reported to have said she said? “She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met.”
— Tireless Staff of Thousands
Postscript: A rhyme with reason …
LOWERING THE BAR
Miers the minimum,
Lawyer by trade;
No known philosophy,
Judicial blockade.
If Miers shot down,
Deemed unfit,
Bush warming up
An illiterate.
— Leon Freilich
