Right Wingers Getting Nervous as Miers' Role in Bush Corruption Unfolds

[oregonindy]

An army of skeletons thought hidden deep in the recesses of Texas closests are coming to life as a result of Bush's nomination of longtime crony and protectress, Harriet Miers.

Jerome Corsi, right wing author of Unfit for Command – Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry has written an extensive series of articles attacking George W. BUsh's Miers Supreme Court nomination. This is one right wing extremist who knows the danger of opening an old can of worms. While an honest, a-political person might want to see corruption uncovered and exposed, Mr. Cosi suggests "It's time for the President to withdraw this dreadful nomination or, if politics dictate, Harriet Miers to withdraw herself from consideration," arguing " so we might avoid another long, painful, and needless examination of old matters that probably would be better off never exhumed.

1. So.....Kerry's "skeletons" should be on public display, while Bush's

should be kept hidden DEEP DEEP in the closet? And to add insult to injury, Kerry's "skeletons" were just a bunch of made-up shit while Bush actually has a long history of real wrong-doing and bona fide corruption?

Someone please tell me why this asshole should even be allowed a public forum.

8. There's an even chance Bush won't withdraw Miers until hearings

There's an even chance Bush won't withdraw Miers until the hearings begin. So there is a chance some of these questions may be addressed.

Bush Won't Release All Miers Records
AP - 1 hour, 31 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Monday that he will not release any records of his conversations with Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers that could threaten the confidentiality of the advice that presidents get from their lawyers. "It's a red line I'm not willing to cross," Bush said. Both Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are demanding more documents on Miers, including from her work at Bush's counsel.

4. Was Clinton allowed ANY privacy with attorneys?

5. Some conservative commentator (George Will?) said this was how to withdraw

Miers - refuse to release records saying they're confidential lawyer-client records, and the the Senate has to say "we can't evaluate this candidate", so she's withdrawn without Bush thinking he's been forced to back down (and that's what McClellan will maintain with the media - whether they'll report it that way is another matter).

9. I Can't Wait For The Hearings To Begin

:popcorn:

First there's the James Dobson testimony...and who he got assurances from

:popcorn:

Then Karl Rove gets hauled up to testify what quid=pro-quos he offered Dobson and others for their support (add extra butter if he's testifying while under indictment)

:popcorn:

Next comes Harriet...all perky and prepped to answer nothing and looking like someone's secretary, not a Justice of the Supreme Court

:popcorn:

If, by this time, his assholiness hasn't removed her nomination or she doesn't withdraw, then the staffers of the various Judiciary committee Senators will get busy and we'll learn even MORE about Harriet's past

:popcorn:

You gotta figure someone's got a smokin' gun on this lady, they're just letting her twist in the wind and hoping the manchild in the oval office yanks her down before he stink gets too bad.
