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....
