Does this law degree make my resume look fat? (Anthrax Coulter on Miers)

[Gman]

Under any other circumstances I would never even read one of this crazy nut's columns but then again, I never thought I would wish Richard Nixon was president right now either.

Coulter is adding more good fuel to the Miers fire inferno.

The only sexism involved in the Miers nomination is the administration's claim that once they decided they wanted a woman, Miers was the best they could do. Let me just say, if the top male lawyer in the country is John Roberts and the top female lawyer is Harriet Miers, we may as well stop allowing girls to go to law school.

Ah, but perhaps you were unaware of Miers' many other accomplishments. Apparently she was THE FIRST WOMAN in Dallas to have a swimming pool in her back yard! And she was THE FIRST WOMAN with a safety deposit box at the Dallas National Bank! And she was THE FIRST WOMAN to wear pants at her law firm! It's simply amazing! And did you know she did all this while being a woman?

I don't know when Republicans became the party that condescends to women, but I am not at all happy about this development. This isn't the year 1880. And by the way, even in 1880, Miers would not have been the "most qualified" of all women lawyers in the U.S., of which there were 75.

By 1950, there were more than 6,000 women lawyers, three female partners at major law firms and three female federal judges. She may be a nut who belonged to a subversive organization, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg graduated first in her class from Columbia Law School – and that was before Harriet Miers was applying to law school.

The other straw-man argument constantly being hawked by the Bush administration is that Miers' critics object that she's never been a judge. To quote another Bush – Read my lips: No one has said that. So please stop comparing Miers to Justice Byron White (first in his class at Yale Law School) or Justice William Rehnquist (first in his class at Stanford Law School).

If you don't believe the adage that politics makes for strange bedfellows, you should by now have no doubt how true that can be. I guess we are officially in bed with Anthrax Coulter! How does it feel?

1. I saw her on Bill Maher

last week... She's turning on Bush, and it's funny as hell....

[crispini]

2. LOL!

You know, I'm beginning to see why people read her, because she's pretty freaking funny, when she's not being a rabid wingnut.

Arlen Specter defended Miers on the grounds that "Miers' professional qualifications are excellent, but she lacks experience in constitutional law" – and Specter ought to know. This is like recommending a plumber by saying, "He's a very professional guy, but he lacks experience in plumbing."

3. she thought she should have been chosen instead of Harriett

after all, she has paid her dues in many ways to these neocon felons

[Gman]

4. I wondered if Coulter is really saying that if it had to be a woman

it should have been her. I get a whiff of jealousy along with the stench of scorn in Coulter's article.

5. Be careful of the company you keep....

Bush, etc have risen to power on the coattails of nutbutts like Coulter. The left has constantly complained that such blowhards and scorched-earth types are bad for the country. Now the company they have kept is starting to bite them in the behind.

Forgive me if I don't lose any sleep over this one.

6. Let us not forget,

the enemy of my enemy is NOT necessarily my friend.

Just cause Anthrax doesn't like her, does not mean I need to like her. Or that I need to like Anthrax, for that matter.

The wingnut coalition is starting to crumble, with the fundies hating the corporatists hating the neocons hating the fundies. It was bound to happen. We just need to give them a nudge now and then and watch the fun.

[Gman]

7. Absolutely!

Coulter is no friend. But for now, we have a common cause. Doesn't mean she's trustworthy. She's not and she's not a friend.

8. tells me that TX is behind the times in promoting women to higher levels?

.......Ah, but perhaps you were unaware of Miers' many other accomplishments. Apparently she was THE FIRST WOMAN in Dallas to have a swimming pool in her back yard! And she was THE FIRST WOMAN with a safety deposit box at the Dallas National Bank! And she was THE FIRST WOMAN to wear pants at her law firm! It's simply amazing! And did you know she did all this while being a woman?

9. So Southern Methodist isn't a top law school? Who woulda thought?
