Borowitz column: "BUSH GIVES SUPREME COURT PICK ‘JUDGING FOR DUMMIES"
http://www.borowitzreport.com/archive_rpt.asp?rec=1230&srch=

funny one!

The book, which includes definitions of such basic judging terms as “docket” and “gavel,” will be invaluable in preparing Ms. Miers to serve on the highest court in the land, the president said.

While nominating someone with no judging experience on her resume to the Supreme Court raised eyebrows in some legal circles, Mr. Bush told reporters that although Ms. Miers had no experience as a judge she had decades of experience as a crony.

“People make up half the stuff on their resumes anyway,” Mr. Bush said. “Look at poor old Brownie,” referring to former FEMA chief Michael D. Brown.

Saying that “experience is overrated,” the President noted, “I never served in the military, and I’ve invaded two countries -- you learn by doing.”
