(A) Liberals

3. first, the president is too nice, rewarding his friends
second, that bastard Harry Reid craftily made a big deal of his support for her. That was the kiss of death.

Just what I've heard on the channels this am.

6. Harry Reid has been foaming at the mouth over Harriet Miers ever
since she was nominated. I think it was more of a lust thing for him rather than her abilities. Is he married? He speaks so in her favor of Ms. Miers but not so much in a professional way????? :loveya:

4. My right-wing nutter colleague is blaming liberals this morning.
Edited on Thu Oct-27-05 10:01 AM by rkc3
He said we didn't give this good woman a chance. I reminded him that it was conservatives who were beating her up.

He followed that we did the same thing to Clarence Thomas. He didn't like it when I pointed out that the guy sexually harassed his subordinates and liked to put pubic hairs in their drinks.

The nutters are delusional.

On edit. He just stopped by to tell me W (his choice) will nominate Hillary Clinton for the SCOTUS.

Literally, every time something bad happens to this administration he rolls out Hillary. It's amazing.

7. He needs to get his head out of his ass so he can have some
reasonable thought process.

If Hillary were appointed, they would do this only because that way, she could never run for POTUS and kick their asses halfway home.

Bush would never nominate Hillary. However, Bill Clinton could serve.

Also, Bill and poppy Bush have become very, very close. Only problem, Clinton would never help overturn RVW. Plus, I think Dumbya would be impeached then by the majority.

9. He has a terminal case of...
Rectal-cranial inversion.

And my guess is that he likes the view.

5. Blame?
Some repukes and repuke organizations will be fighting over the credit for it.

8. Falwell, Bush's pal from the South stated that an hour before Bush
nominated Miers that Bush called him to get his opinion. Now this was publically stated.

Falwell said that he trusted the President, and since he trusted the president, he trusted the President's decisions. (yeah, whatever).
