It's good to know accusations of festering cronyism isn't doing anything to change the current administration. Your new Supreme Court nominee: White House counsel and, before that, White House staff secretary and chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission. Time spent as judge: nil.

Bush announced his choice in a televised Oval Office event saying, "For
the past five years Harriet Miers has served in critical roles in our
nation's government."

Outstanding. Rationale enough for a lifetime appointment to the highest judicial post in the land, then. Unless there's something else at work. I almost hope for the sinister here. Anything less is just stupid.

If it were me, I'd rather have seen redmonster nominated instead.

She has the same last name as me. I wonder if we're related.

And you have as much judicial experience as she. And better hair.

The rest of the developed world is laughing its butt off at us right now.

Of course it's been laughing its butt off at us for years.

This is actually getting funnier as time goes on. In a "laugh so that we may not cry" sorta way, but still.

This is quite possibly the best headline on the topic. I'll let you make your own punchline.

But things are getting weirder....

Just when I think things can't get any worse with the Bush administration, they promptly do. Honestly. Cast iron testicles on these people.

Creepy...

What's with all that eye makeup she wears in the photos I have seen? It looks really creepy.

I'm thinking that Bush wants his Legacy of Stupidity to continue long after he's gone.

I had another thought. What if this is all a machiavellian scheme the show the world that he's an idiot an lull the nations into a false sense of security. He will rise up at some point in the future with a world domination scheme. His appointments to the nations highest court will only give him a firmer power base. He's already caused instability in near asia that will last for years to come.

I'm going to go line my helmet with foil now.
