It sure sounds like Dobson just said that on ABC News tonight.
According to ABC, Dobson "revealed" what Karl Rove had confidentially told him about Harriet Miers' nomination. Among other things, Dobson quoted Rove as saying the president ONLY wanted a female nominee.
Ah, so she was an affirmative action nomination. Cool. Glad the conservatives have given up the battle on that issue.
Then Dobson said the following:
"And you can imagine what that did to the short list... That may have cut it by 80% right there."Right, because there are more qualified men than qualified women to serve on Supreme Court? That's why Miers has such lousy qualifications. You see, she's a girl. And there just aren't that many girls that are as qualified for the big court as boys are because boys are smart and girls play with Barbies. So Bush had to pick a girl that wasn't so qualified, because in the land of girls, that makes her king (or queen).
Did Karl Rove really tell Dobson THIS was the reason Bush picked Miers? Maybe Laura Bush was right about that sexism thing after all - except she didn't realize the sexism wasn't just coming from the religious right, it was coming from the White House itself.
