Reply #16: I think he picked Miers because he's so deep inside his own ass [View All]

that he can't imagine anyone would think there's a problem with choosing his own lawyer, a corporate attorney who's never even been a small claims court judge and who has exactly zero experience with constitutional law. Cronyism is normal; it's a way of life with the BFEE, so Boy George doesn't think there's anything wrong with it because that's what they've always done. I don't think there's a "plot" or KKKarl is playing games. He nominated Miers because he's an arrogant douche who picks cronies and assumes they're the best qualified *because* they're his cronies.

I could almost feel sorry for Miers on account of the pounding she's taking from her own party, except that she should have had the sense to tell Il Douche that she couldn't possibly accept the position because she's not the most qualified person. But she's been hanging around with that crowd for so long that she most likely thinks the same way they do.
