WASHINGTON, DC— "After Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination for the Supreme Court Thursday, President Bush announced that he will nominate the next person who walks through his door. "I assure the American people that the next person who enters my field of vision will be a highly qualified candidate of unimpeachable character, with a solid record, and--what's more--a good heart," Bush said. As of press time, 17 people were waiting outside the door, including the president's daughter Jenna, and special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald." THE ONION - October 27, 2005 Issue 41•43.

I couldn't have said it better myself! Looks like Bush's nomination backfired in the worst possible way as both Conservatives and Liberals give his nomination a big BOO! What was he thinking in nominating her in the first place?? I'm sure she's an excellent attorney with impressive credentials but she has never presided as a judge in a court room. She's not qualified for the role of a Supreme Court Justice. Poor Harriett - he threw her right under the bus and then crawfished his way out by saying SHE withdrew her nomination. Shame shame. Wonder who's gonna make his next decision??? I recommend using an 8-ball!
