Yes, we don't like that woman. But when she turns her venom on Bush, well, we just have to quote her :-)
First, Bush has no right to say "Trust me." He was elected to represent the American people, not to be dictator for eight years. Among the coalitions that elected Bush are people who have been laboring in the trenches for a quarter-century to change the legal order in America. While Bush was still boozing it up in the early '80s, Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Bork and all the founders of the Federalist Society began creating a farm team of massive legal talent on the right....She makes fun of Bush being a drunk. Jesus. Man, I love when hateful jerks like Coulter prove that, well, they're hateful jerks. It serves the Republicans right for coddling people like Coulter and the religious right and all the rest of the wackadoo conservatives. You created these monsters. You can now deal with them.
Being a Supreme Court justice ought to be a mind-numbingly tedious job suitable only for super-nerds trained in legal reasoning like John Roberts. Being on the Supreme Court isn't like winning a "Best Employee of the Month" award. It's a real job....
Bush may as well appoint his chauffeur head of NASA as put Miers on the Supreme Court....
However nice, helpful, prompt and tidy she is, Harriet Miers isn't qualified to play a Supreme Court justice on "The West Wing," let alone to be a real one.
Also, Joe just mentioned to me, this is very interesting timing for Coulter to be making fun of Bush's alcoholism. What with the National Enquirer story that Bush is drinking again, and with David Letterman doing a top 10 last night on "how you can tell Bush is drinking again." That story is permeating the culture and it's only a matter of time before the mainstream media finally jumps on it.
