"While I think Meirs deserves a chance to at least have her day with the Senate, Laura Bush doesn't help her cause by calling Ms. Meirs critics sexist. I expect that from the Nancy Pelosis, Barbara Boxers and Hitlerys of the left, not the First Lady."
Funny thing. Everyone is up in arms about what Mrs. Bush said. Yet how do you think Ms. Miers feels about all this criticism and no one has even spoken to her yet?
Coulter called Miers mediocre at best. Has she spoken with Miers? What about Krauthammer, Limbaugh and the rest of the "Right Wing" pundits? Only Hannity has taken a wait and see attitude towards Miers.
The treatment Miers is getting from the right is uncalled for at best and disgraceful to say the least. As Conservatives, we hold ourselves to a higher standard and in one fell swoop, we have sunk lower than the RATS.
The fact that the president nominated his own counsel (who has neither a verifiable track record nor a conservative jdicial philosophy) is the issue that is worrying. Don't forget - Miers has a lukewarm attitude (at best) towards the Federalist Society. She has always been a supporter of the liberal ABA.
Despite all this, you still think "The treatment Miers is getting from the right is uncalled for at best and disgraceful to say the least." WOW!!!! You don't hold the conservative rank and file to a high standard, do you?
Please! All Laura Bush said is that it is "possible" that some criticism could be sexist. All of you who are trying to make this an issue are barking up the wrong tree. I'm beginning to think there must be some other hidden agenda with these arguments being steered in the wrong direction.
Whata buncha crap! If Miers was so brilliant, she would have written legal opinions somewhere over a 30 year career.
She has none (at least none that have been reported).
Calling Miers "mediocre" is being charitable.
