WASHINGTON – Criticism of Harriet Miers as an unqualified crony of the president is unfounded, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday, praising the Supreme Court nominee for a "probing intellect" that will make her a great justice.

(snip)

"She's got a very probing mind and a probing intellect," Rice said on "Fox News Sunday."

"She is the kind of person who is – if there have been four arguments given, Harriet's going to look for the fifth," said Rice, who was interviewed from London at the end of a diplomatic trip.

Referring to Miers' critics, Rice said, "I think that when they get to know her in the hearings, in the confirmation hearings, that they're going to see a woman of extraordinary talent, extraordinary integrity and somebody who would be an extraordinary Supreme Court justice."

Asked whether she urged Bush to select Miers, Rice said, "I'm not in the habit of recommending Supreme Court justice nominees to the president."

1. How soon before they trot out Kay Bailey Hutchins?

She usually shills for them on tv.

[Mz Pip]

2. Sorry Condi

I just have to question the "probing intellect" of anyone who believes that George Bush is the most brilliant man she's ever met. :eyes:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[qnr]

21. She was given 156,285,403 opinions, and she looked for the 156,285,404th

obviously

[ClintonTyree]

3. That's impossible.........

anyone who thinks bush is the most intelligent man she's ever met hasn't done a whole lot of "probing" with her "intellect". It sounds as if the only thing of Harriet's that has been probing at all are her lips searching in the dark for bush's ass. :puke:

[tridim]

4. So let's see some evidence

People with "probing intellects" usually record their thoughts on paper at some point. Maybe Rice just wants to probe Miers? Boom-chicka-wa-ka-boom-chicka-waowww..

[Gregorian]

5. Probing is not a word I associate with this administration.

It is, however, something I associate with aliens.

Please end the nightmare...

[IndianaGreen]

6. You sure Condi didn't say "probing dildo"?

Condi Rice and Harriet Miers in the same bed.... it's enough to turn any lesbian straight!

[daleo]

8. Throw Bush in that bed too.

That thought could turn the entire human race away from sex.

[PurityOfEssence]

32. I believe the appropriate slur is "strap-on intelligence"

Dr. Mediocrity has no grounds to recommend anyone's circuitry.

[louis-t]

7. Yes, and she's 'boning' up on constitutional law...

Is this a sex thread?

[Neil Lisst]

9. Condi recommending Harriet is like Beavis recommending Butthead

just saying

[cliss]

10. Wow, isn't that a great quote,

"I'm not in the habit of recommending SCOTUS nominees to the president". That's interesting. How many times has she needed to recommend nominees to the president? Once? Never?

How about: "I'm a highly-paid hack for the Corporate president and his minions". Whatever they want, I will deliver.

[Rex]

11. Ohhh...a 'probing' intellect. A clue!

Is that code for something from Kinda Sleazy? What does Miers know about Plamegate?

[stepnw1f]

12. Yuh... probing

Deep, deep, deep down within her tiny head, there is a brain!

[IndianaGreen]

14. Dallas Dildo Defiance

Speaking of probing intellects, here is an article about dildos and Texas:

Pucker Up
Dallas Dildo Defiance
Have Dildo, Will Travel

Each time I travel, I continue to put as many whips, riding crops, and sharp objects as I can in my checked luggage, but I was especially nervous when I recently booked a flight to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. I'd heard that it's illegal to sell dildos in the state of Texas. Worse yet, rumor had it that having more than six dildos constitutes the intent to distribute them, so zealous dong ownership alone is against the law.

In case my luggage was x-rayed and I was plucked from the boarding line once again, I wanted to be prepared. I decided that honesty was my best defense: I would have only two dildos with me—the other 15 would actually be vibrators and butt plugs. (You may think it's overkill to pack so many, but a girl's gotta be prepared.) Well, after doing a little homework, I learned that it's not just dildos that are illegal, but all things "obscene," which Texas law defines as dildos, artificial vaginas, or any device "designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs." In my house, we call that sexual pleasure, and in the land of the free, some states regulate how you get yours.

[0007]

28. Hilarious article, thanks I.G.

[cantstandbush]

13. It means she has to ask a lot of questions to keep up. n/t

[pinto]

16. My thought, as well.

[pinto]

15. From what we've heard that's laughable. Nice try, Condi. One thing though:

I'd be interested in a follow-up question about this statement you made (from the same article):


"Rice said she has worked closely with Miers, the White House counsel and a former deputy chief of staff, on international legal issues such as a president's wartime powers."

[Baconfoot]

17. I just heard the "Pac-Man eaten by a ghost" sound as I read that quote.NT

[tanyev]

18. Well, Condi, that really tells us a lot more about yourself

than about Harriet.

"You're the best governor ever!!!!!"

Probing intellect, my fanny.

:spray:

[longship]

19. Misquoted!

Condi really said that "Miers has a problem intellect." :yoiks:
:hide:

[jazzjunkysue]

22. Neocons are like cockroaches. They never stop, no matter how bad

it gets.

[Demeter]

23. Did Condi Just Call Harry A Nosy Bitch?

Reading betweeen the lines, I think that may be so!

[VegasWolf]

24. Is that another name for a double-headed dildo? nt

[Roland99]

25. Fifth? Of Vodka? Fifth Amendment?

[0007]

26. Harriet has a pair of probing eyes also.

[oioioi]

27. Anagrams for "probing intellect"

Con pleb retitling

TLC re inept goblin

little prince bong

tell bring nepotic

tin bell GOP cretin

born client piglet

[tinfoilinfor2005]

30. See, that would take me HOURS to come up with.

Very clever. Little prince bong is my favorite.:)

[hopein08]

29. Ha! Miers links the Chimperor is the most brilliant man...

she has ever met!

Miers clearly is lacking the "probing intellect" to get out once in a while and meet new "brilliant" or even simply "intelligent" people.

I know what's wrong with the * Administration! It just dawned on me that their problem is that instead of reading the morning papers over coffee and breakfast, they only read the morning talking points and think that is gospel.

31. sick!!!
