Harriet Miers

What a system of government we have here. Bush playing the consumate politician is betting he knows the game. Get someone who doesn't have a paper trail, and a woman to boot. It will be hard to "beat up" on a woman. And with what? At this time there seems to be little information. Bush played Roberts and won. Let's see how he does with Miers.

I have stopped looking at who has the moral high ground in politics. I believe that it is all about naked ambition. The Dems have been spoiling for a fight with the replacement of O'Connor. There is a saying, that someone has been "Borked" The dems in 1987 came out swinging with Robert Bork, a nominee by Reagan, armed with his paper trail and savaged him. I have no doubt that the republicans would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot.

Increasingly we are getting less paper trail, so there is less to hit someone with. Hence Harriet. Who is she? We don't know. My guess is that it is going to be difficult to beat her up because the dems are going to have to find the clubs first.
