Harriet Miers, version 2.0

[Scooter24]

This is a post from a weblog I read regularly. It warrants posting here :)

From Jeremy's Weblog:

There’s an article on Time.com about how the White House “hopes to relaunch the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court by moving from what they call a ‘biographical phase’ to an ‘accomplishment phase.”

The language – “relaunch” – strikes me as kind of bizarre. Like she’s a product they’re trying to sell. Which, I suppose, she is. Harriet Miers, version 2.0, now with less fat and fewer calories.

1. 9.0 and counting

When each version blows up, they retool and try again.

1.0 woman & conservative (oops, conservatives don't believe that)

2.0 vouched for by Dobson (some pillar of some community)

3.0 pioneer: first woman pres of Texas bar (whoop-de-do)

4.0 George knows her (not much of a recommendation when he doesn't ask her what she thinks on key legal issues)

5.0 victim of sexism ("maybe" says Pickles)

6.0 Evangelical christian (oops, Republicans didn't allow that issue for Roberts)

7.0 ardent anti-choice (except when mediating or donating money)

8.0 meticulous legal mind (liens, fines, oops)

9.0 ?

22.9 withdrawn
