Bush: "I picked the best person I could find"

[ck4829]

On picking Miers.

I didn't know this nation had a shortage of Judges.

[tompayne1]

1. yeah

hasn't the number of psychotic rightwing nutjob judges gone up by 30% in the last 5 years.?

[electropop]

5. Plus she's not even a judge.

She hasn't sat on the bench for one single day in her life. Except maybe while on the field hockey team.

[tompayne1]

10. field hockey is like judging

and policing horse shows is like disaster management. Come on people get a hold of yourselves the Prez would only pick a quailified nominee. lol.

[tainowarrior]

2. best person I could find

is not "best person"...telling that he had to use "I could find" to qualify his remarks.

[electropop]

9. S'pose she's a ringer?

Just to see exactly how far the Dems will take it up the butt? I'm sure Rove is having a hearty laugh at the prospect of anybody taking his practical joke seriously.

[jasmeel]

3. When did he say that?

[ck4829]

4. Today's conference.

[Fenris]

6. That reall should be...

"I picked the person that I assigned to find the best person for the job."

[kittenpants]

7. not exactly a ringing endorsement

"So, I looked outside the oval office and found Laura, Miss Beasly, and Harriet, so I says 'Miss Beasly, you wanna be a judge.' And Karl says to me, 'Um, a dog cannot serve as a supreme court justice.' So I said, 'dammit! How about you Harriet?'

[savemefromdumbya]

8. he could find?

someone reliable who he can pay to fix things for him? Will she help fix his Plame leak indictment?

[joemurphy]

11. Bush was sitting on the toilet and ...Voila!...It came to him in a

flash...Yes, Harriet! Harriet's the most qualified nominee I could ever find!...He proceeded to wipe himself and without washing his hands ran to tell Karl! It was a "eureka" moment!

[Bob3]

12. Did anybody in the press say Pull the other one it's got bells on it?

after he said that? I didn't think so. Well carry on.

Of course the horrible thing is that he could be telling the truth. Which in some ways is worse than if he was lying - that means he's gone completely nuts. He'll be nominating furniture next. Or maybe a horse.

[stopbush]

13. As J Stewart sez - * only knows three people.

[Stephanie]

14. "I picked the best person I could find that was ALREADY ON MY OWN STAFF"

Looking beyond one's own nose is hard work!

[Sydnie]

15. Yeah, and Brownie was the best he could find for FEMA too

enough said.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Yeah, looked for her about like he looked for WMDs in Iraq...in

his office, under the desk.

[ComerPerro]

17. "... without actually looking, going anywhere, or doing anything"

Being Preznit is hard work

[readmylips]

18. 60 year old Virgin, best & only I could find...

hey mr. Fucker, this is not the Vatican, you asshole.

[elehhhhna]

19. Nope, no one under here! he he.

[mcscajun]

20. Without actually getting up out of his chair or reading anything.

:spray:

Best... :wtf:

[LittleClarkie]

21. Finish the sentence. She was the best person he could find

without leaving his office.

She was the very bestest crony he could offer us.

[Marr]

22. "... in the office that day."

He obviously didn't look very far if he chose his own lawyer.
