So you think that Coulter resorting to referring to "Bush's boozing" and calling for his impeachment because he had the audacity to select someone other than the handful of names she predetermined to be acceptable deserves respect?
She has forever lost my respect. I've got no problem with her disagreeing with me, but with those two acts she has gone into the enemy camp. Calling the president a drunk and calling for his impeachment is Michael Moore stuff.
It appears some people 's loyalties lie more with a LEADER than with IDEAS.
Such was the end of the Roman Republic.
Why? Because Lifson's article was moronic.
In the same article in which he argues that Ivy-league or strong academic credentials are not important he repeatedly emphasizes Bush's Harvard Business School education.
It was almost satirical.
Bush went to Yale and Harvard for the same reason all parents struggle to send their kids to good schools--because that's where the best and brightest go.
Exactly. Whatever happened to taking time to get to know a topic before jumping to a conclusion.
What I've seen is any positive information that comes out about Miers is dismissed out of hand by people who are dug in to their position, just as it was, at least in the beginning, about Chief Justice Roberts.
Well, what I've learned so far is positive, and there are hearings yet to come. There's no need for a rash decision.
I havent read the column yet, but everyone knows Ann uses dry wit and sarcasm to get her oint across, and bases it on known facts.
By the way, I had a good day at work, and want to stomp the heathen evolutionists..Boot~!
Good post. I agree.
I am taking the low road too, I am very concerned about President Bush's second pick, hell I am still concerned about his first pick.
Where was the BIG fight from the left?
Ditto....my thoughts EXACTLY! I think Ann is the only conservative with the guts to call it like it is.
I am so disappointed that these self-serving classists have the microphone. What a bunch of lousy "team players".
Whatever anybody thinks about W's weaknesses and missteps, he deserves better treatment than this.
If it weren't for him, they'd be getting the opportunity to criticize a guaranteed liberal picked by a President Gore or a President Kerry. Guess that's what they really wanted--someone they can see at the tailgates and class reunions.
All you have to do is look at the "coddle the terrorist prisoners" bill that passed with 90 votes in the Senate yesterday to understand that the biggest problem is the RINO's in the Congress.
As they say what's one man's Meat is another man's poison.
Obviously you fall into the first part of that quote.
Good sense of humor!! LOL.
I look forward to arguing with you on the next crevo thread. Maybe we can even call each other names. LOL
As an aside, regarding Dr. Miers, I have heard some really specious argurments. Her age for example. She is 60/61? Why is that EVEN an issue? Justice Stevens is 85 AND is a cancer survivor. Age means nothing. Justice S. Minton retired after seven years on the court, Justice C. Whittaker after five years. Justice F. Murphy died at age 59, Justice W. Rutledge died at age 55. I don't believe age is a reasonable factor on which to make a decision as to if someone should be appointed/confirmed to the USSC.
I'm going to wait until the confirmation hearings before I make a decision on if I support her or not. Was she the *best* choice form my perspective? No, but then neither was Chief Justice J. Roberts. That doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a chance to be heard in the Senate.
Let the shrieking begin here at FR. Anyone that disagrees with the BushBots are turncoats.
What a concept! I sure hope Ann attacks my grammer someday so I can work it out with her behind closed doors. ;~))
I did not know that. I avoid television and get most of my news from the internet. I was just using the logic I would use in making a selection if I were in the president's shoes. I guess the CiC and I think alike in many ways. That's almost a frightening thought 8^).
Grunts are never lonely, they have the whole forest to talk to.
Air Wingers ROCK!!
Yes, but her latest book is now out in paperback. So maybe she'll get a sales boost out of it.
I mailed her book, I bought, back to her. She is sounding like a fruit cake and I no longer can agree with her points of few. And, I don't want to be associated with her. When I see her and Laura Ingraham on t.v. I will turn off my t.v.
