Spoiling the party
Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers, a loyalist with a mediocre résumé and no legal track record, leaves the left cautious -- and the right furious.

By midday, Vice President Dick Cheney even called into Rush Limbaugh's radio show to offer assurances. "You'll find when we look back 10 years from now that it will have been a great appointment," Cheney told Limbaugh and his millions of listeners. "You'll be proud of Harriet's record, Rush. Trust me."

1. I hate the repubs, I hate what they have done to our country

but I really don't think it is fair to show a 59 year old woman's face up close to imply something about her personality. C'mon, put the camera on Bush's face, but at least leave this lady's appearance alone. Please???

5. It Worked

She looks like a nut!

[StClone]

18. I think she looks harmless

Aged femininity, even motherly. She devoted herself to doing what she does best - lawyering. I have no animosity towards her. Accepting the position and thrust Brownie-like to the SCOTUS is where I have problems.

23. She Looks Rabid to Me

I study faces for a living as an artist. Her eyes are quite revealing.

[StClone]

26. Zell Miller is Rabid as well as...

Nutzo, whacked, betwitched, Pyscho...this lady just looks slightly daft in a stilted sort of way that a harmless addled granny might elicit.

[stepnw1f]

32. Oh.... OK!

You can have Zell Miller!

6. the, umm, supreme court candidate

hi, i am new here....i just think that she is a lapdog (at best), and an ultraconservative activist (at worst). in either case, do i hear a borking about to begin?

10. WELCOME to DU, crabby...

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Hi, crabby!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[newyawker99]

31. Hi crabby!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

7. I have to agree with you.

I don't care what the person looks like, just as long as they are honest, competent and wise. I'd nominate someone who looks like Jabba the Hut if they met that criteria.

19. There os an old saying.......All's Fair in Love, War & Politics.

When you aspire to public service, either as an elected official, an appointed official or whatever, you know that you will have opponents who will do thair damndest to keep you from getting whatever job you seek and by going ahead, you accept that risk.

When it comes to the Supreme Court, we must take a very close look at the nominee.....a microscopic look at him or her. If the nominee is a woman with aging problems, well, thats the way it goes. Our standard of life and the state of this nation is far too important for us to worry about her mascara or pancake makeup. In fact, in this case....her makup is the least problem as I see it. I am more worried about her being "Born Again" and if approved, how that aspect of her life will affect us.

2. 10 years?

These wingnuts don't even think about next week.
Besides which, 10 years from now there will be other priorities beyond supreme court decisions.

[stepnw1f]

3. There's That Fanatical Stare Again

All these right wing Nazis have that crystal meth stare.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Rush also mentioned that the Dems were "losing it"

over this and didn't it seem like a good time to bury them? Cheney's answer: "We're trying."

Nice.

ed: because the phrase was "losing it". Bleccch.

[Straight Shooter]

8. Yeah, that Cheney is a real sweetheart, isn't he?

Let's remember that quote of his to Rush when Cheney drops dead because his so-called heart gives out and we're all doing the happy dance at DU.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Little would make me dance more.

Perhaps Rove in a bright shade of orange, perhaps impeachment, but that's right up there.

Darth Cheney -- Pure Evil!

[Vektor]

9. I smell desperation.

CHENEY called that fat, lying, drug-addled pied piper, begging for approval!?!?

HOW PATHETIC!

Really. That's pretty sad when you have the vice president of the United States calling some Oxycontin slurping extremist radio show host trying desperately to rally the approval of the most fringe and most extremist wackadoo faction of the "base."

[Patsy Stone]

12. 10 points awarded for a superb use of "wackadoo"!

LOL.

[Vektor]

27. 10 points awarded back...

For your exquisite avatar, and use of the DU handle "Patsy Stone" - one of my favorite characters EVAH, DAHLING.

:-)

[crabby]

14. rush/cheney

well, maybe they also swapped meds....

[Vektor]

28. WELCOME TO DU!!!

:hi:

I think they swap panties too. :-)

[Mnemosyne]

13. If that dick says she's okay, it's good enough

for me. :sarcasm:

I couldn't care less what she looks like, if * nominated her there is something seriously wrong behind the curtain.

[democrank]

16. I`ve been worried about Bush`s appointments, but

Cheney has soothed that worry right out of me.

[opihimoimoi]

17. TRUST DICK???? WTF? Since when do we trust the dude....?

[susu369]

33. "Trust Me"

What a joke - truly.

[LittleClarkie]

20. Was Rush buying it?

Did anyone here?

Goodness, she's led a rough life, hasn't she.

[librechik]

21. pssst! Righties! The aspen still grow in clusters!

Trust me!

[marions ghost]

22. Orrin Hatch (R Utah)

also apparently likes her...bad sign. But you can't tell what's real here.

[ismnotwasm]

24. Let me get this straight;

The Vice President Of the United States of America, called a radio TALK SHOW HOST to give his ressurances about a Supreme Court nominee?
Words fail.

[Lecky]

25. Reeks of pathetic desperation

Our country is being led by complete idiots.

[Tinksrival]

29. Did ya notice the wink, wink, nudge, nudge today

I did and it's creepy me out. What this administration is saying to their hard core righties is "sssshhhhhh!!! Don't worry, we got it covered!" From Bush's born again lingo "I know what's in her heart." to Cheney's little heart to heart with Limpballs. And then there is Dobson with this "I know a secret and it's all good" crap.


Shit people........I got a bad feeling after today.

[AtomicKitten]

30. I've had it with Republicans

I say we pile 'em up and light 'em on fire.
