Master/servant? Is that too close? Superior/inferior?
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

So...Harriet Miers. Not a crazy conservative ideologue. Might not even uproot Roe. But a thoroughly mediocre pick for the court.
Is it even advantageous for the Dems to fight it? She's way better for my politics than smart guy right wingers like Michael McConnell or Michael Luttig.
Go Mediocre! Go America!

I don't think the Dems will fight it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That might result in too many techies earwormed with Depeche Mode.

Always Anti-fascist!
And I believe she is the ugliest woman I've ever seen. And I come from the land of Republican Woman Aqua Net Head. I do not say this lightly. (/petty) May her rulings be prettier than her face. What was Shrub Boogie thinking? Does he, ever? But if it'll protect my rights, he could dig up any nobody he wants.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From Slate:
Time and Newsweek, Oct. 10
Miers: Both magazines have Web-only takes on President Bush's new Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers. Time notes that a few conservatives reacted poorly because she donated $1,000 to Al Gore's 1988 presidential campaign and because Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid strongly recommended her to Bush. However, the article goes on to note that Miers has had unusual access to President Bush as White House counsel: "Bush knows few lawyers as well as he knows Miers. She has often traveled with him, dodging leaking oil from military helicopters and roughing it in the senior staff trailer at the ranch in Crawford." Calling Miers' stance on abortion "obscure," Newsweek asserts that Bush has successfully managed to dupe the pro-lifers who voted for him. The piece insists that Bush has always supported Roe v. Wade, and now it's "unlikely to be overturned any time soon."
This supports Victor's contention that Bush is really just a pro-business republican in Far Right drag.

I can't see what the political gain is for Bush.
A stalking-horse to exhaust the opposition for the real candidate, possibly. That seems a little Machiavellian even for Rove, however.
Harriet Miers called Bush the most brilliant man she ever met. She has to be rather dim to want to go through this rectal exam with her credentials. Even she MUST know that she's not qualified.

That's the only other thing I can think of - but Bush and Mrs. Bush both know and like her. I don't think they'd set her up as a stalking horse. The cronyism is more in character for him, as is the tone-deafness.
