After pretending to consider various women and minorities for the Supreme Court these past few weeks, President Bush decided to disappoint all the groups he had just ginned up and nominate a white male.

I happen to like white males, Ann. No disappointment here.

I think her point was that the groups he was toying with were expecting a female or a minority. Her comment is sarcastically aimed at the disappointment of the special-interest groups that represent them.

Bush did not such thing; the chattering classes, including Ann Coulter, did that.

I like Coulter, but she's not privy to the President's thoughts. She hasn't a clue if he "pretended to consider women and minorities."

He had 11 people to consider, and selected one. He could only select one. She seems to think he should have automatically ruled out any of the 11 who happened to be white males.

I'd prefer that he not take gender or race into consideration and I'm glad he did not.
