Bush is Down...Miers is Out

Bush is "deeply disappointed in the process" of confirming a Supreme Court nominee. - Washington Post

Awww. Bush is disappointed. Is it really the confirmation process or the fact that pesky people won't let you put your unqualified friends into the highest court in the land for life? Oh I know. It's probably those damn conservatives you've spent your whole career catering to. At first, I disliked Harriet Miers for being a lawyer who's never been a judge and getting the craziest promotion ever. I just assumed she was an ultra conservative. When I heard that she isn't as hardcore as everyone knows a Bush nominee should be, I started to warm to the idea of a first-time judge in the Supreme Court. Now I'm just waiting to see who's next. Surely there's a Strom Thurman stunt double with some judicial experience out there.

I personally want to see another female nominee, and according to the Washington Post, there are a few females in consideration. So, we'll just wait. White House spokesman Scott McClellan says the next nominee will definitely not be a White House staff member. Like that should make a difference. Can you promise they won't be from Texas too?

If you can get to this link there's a list of potential nominees. A few have a history in representing oil companies, several were appointed to their bench by Bush Sr. and are known conservatives. Most are judges at least.
