Let's Make a Deal!


Monty: Welcome to Let’s Make a Deal. Monty Hall here with you and let’s get started. Hello, and who are you?

John: I am John from Iowa.

Monty: Welcome John, let’s play! Well Jay what do you have for us this week?

Jay: This week we have Supreme Court nominees. Let’s have a look behind door number 1. It’s Harriet Miers! She’s a 60 year old Texan lawyer who has been a close advisor to the President for years. Harriet is a born again evangelical Christian who is unmarried and has no kids. A former Democrat who has drifted towards the Republican party after finding Christ. President Bush has reassured us that you will like her.

Monty: John what do you think?

John: Well President Bush promised me more, so I think I will go with door number 2.

Monty: Not so fast John, remember the gang of 7, those Republicans who compromised with the Democrats and have reportedly told the President not to send a too controversial pick.

John: Right, that does make it more difficult. Do we know anything else about this Harriet Miers?

Monty: Jay what else do we know?

Jay: Not much, unless you count gossip and rumors. Friends tell us she is pro-life and appears to believe in the individual right to bear arms. However there is also indications that she is sympathetic towards affirmative action and has a politically correct view of separation of Church and State. Did I tell you the President says you’ll like her?

John: Do I get to ask Harriet any questions?

Monty: Sure, and she will answer them as long as they don’t have anything to do with issues that might come before the court.

John: Shoot, what good is that then. So this is all I get to know about a Supreme Court lifetime appointment who is going to be a key vote in how our laws and Constitution is interpreted?

Monty: Well that’s it. So what is it going to be, Harriet Miers or door number 2?

John: Well since Bush tells us he believes this is his best choice, door number 2 is going to be worse. Can I take the goat behind door number 3? This process has made me ill.
