Look at what the Right Wing is saying about Miers

[CatWoman]

UPDATE: More here. Perhaps they'll change my mind, but so far I'm underwhelmed.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Mark Daniels: "Another stealth nominee?"

GayPatriot has predictions.

Paul Deignan: "Harriet Miers is many things, but she is not a Constitutional scholar . . . She is an unknown and unproven functionary whose chief virtue is the one virtue that we must reject--a strong tie to a particular chief executive."

Baseball Crank: "Color me less than thrilled."

PoliPundit: "Miers is a cipher."

The ACLJ, however,loves her.

Rich Lowry: "After the Roberts pick conservatives swooned and said Bush doesn't care about 'diversity'; it's only high qualifications that matter to this bold, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may leader, etc., etc. Don't we have to take all that back now?"

David Frum: "An unforced error. . . . nobody would describe her as one of the outstanding lawyers in the United States."

MORE: GayPatriot's predictions are already coming true!

2. and what makes them UNHAPPY

4. You are assuming that they are astute analysts of politics

Is it possible that these people are so far out there that they don't know what they are talking about?

[CatWoman]

6. Hi Freddie

what happened to your dog? :hi:

I never accused these people of knowing what they're talking about :D

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. Which is why I am not happy just because they are unhappy

The Blue Dog is on vacation, chasing squirrels. He will be back eventually. ;)

8. I'm worried this is a trap tho

They pick a WOMAN, who has had personal interaction with some dems who deem her LIKABLE, she makes the RW freak out, so she skates in and the next thing we know -

she Scalia in dress.

10. I've got happy feet....

Bear in mind that this nomination gives us a reason to discuss Chimpy's wartime desertion from the TANG (virtually the only thing Dirty Harriet's done in her life is help the Chimp cover up the scandal)...

[ET Awful]

11. I want to know what else she worked on for him as his personal attorney

Like was she involved in any of his prior questionable businesses like Harken Energy?

[MrBenchley]

12. Everything the corrupt drunk has ever done is questionable

It will be interesting to open the ball on the Texas Rangers deal too....was she involved in that?

13. Dirty Harriet???!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!! :rofl: I love it!

[MrBenchley]

14. Hoped someone would like that...

By the way, we all might point out that after spending last week wailing about partisanship when their crooked House leader got indicted for money laundering, the right wing's main complaint about Miers is that she might not be fanatically partisan enough.

[MrBenchley]

5. Meanwhile, we've got people here pissing and moaning

because Democrats said vaguely complimentary things about Chimpy picking a woman.

Some people have no idea how politics is played.

7. I'm just not buying the Brer Rabbit act.

I have become convinced that Miers is worse than bad.

Here's why:
