It's nice to see someone using more than two brain cells and giving in to infantile temper tantrum instincts when dealing with this nomination.
It was an attempt at gentle ribbing of his/her sentence, which probably meant to say something like, "It's nice to see someone using more than two brain cells rather than giving in to infantile temper tantrum instincts when dealing with this nomination."
FWIW, I agree with what you say. Harriet's nomination is OK with me, if only because I like to see all the pundits trip on themselves over their predictions on whom Bush would nominate. Pundit-tripping is always fun.
I might change my mind, though, based on her performance in the hearings. I think that is supposed to be the purpose of holding hearings.
I am very sorry that my posts don't have sufficient intellectual content for you.
Restorer, please accept my apology.
