Poor, poor Priscilla (Owens)

[WatchWhatISay]

From Keith Olbermans blog:

OLBERMANN: When he nominated her to the vacant position on the Supreme Court of these, the United States of America, President George W. Bush told the American people—quote—“I know her heart.”

What may have seemed more than a little creepy then now makes perfect sense. Our number one story on the COUNTDOWN tonight, Harriet Miers is a man killer. Yes, behind that seemingly bland exterior beats a rather potent heart, apparently, one capable of besting the competition, not only professionally, but also personally, Ms. Miers ultimately getting the nod here for the top spot here, despite previously speculation that it might go to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Priscilla Owen.

Poor Judge Owen. It's not the first time she's been one-upped by Harriet. It seems she once dated Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht. Along comes Harriet Miers. Before you know it, reports the blog Wonkette, Miers and Hecht were dating. She's converting to evangelism. And a quarter of a century later, he's making the rounds defending her nomination, Judge Hecht telling the President Bush “Legal Times” that Miers is—quote—“very kind. She always remembers everyone's birthday. She'll be finding a present for somebody in the middle of the night.”

Hey now on the presents for somebody in the middle of the night

1. Loved this quote ...

She'll be finding a present for somebody in the middle of the night.

I can just see that now:

"Harriet! It's 2 in the morning! What are you doing in this liquor store?"

"I wasssss jes' buying a birthday preshent fer my neish. Do you think she'd like shingle-malt scotch or should I jus' go with the te ... (hic) ... tequilla?"

2. if you really remembered birthdays, you wouldn't have to rush out

at midnight to find something to buy.

3. You'd have had to seen the way Keith said it.

I don't think he meant presents like the kind you'd giftwrap

[spooky3]

4. no, I understand--I'm just adding another angle of why it was a dumb

thing for her advocate to say
