Please point me to a statement from the White House which says “We tried to give this SCOTUS nomination away, but no one would take it. No one wanted the job. Finally, Harriet said ‘Oh, I’ll take it.’ Frankly, we were relieved. We thought we’d never find anyone willing to sit on the bench.”

I think K-Lo is referring to statements by Dr. Dobson, who said Rove told him 80% of the women who were on the short list dropped themselves out.

Apparently, one of the qualifiers Bush had was that the nominee had to be a woman.

The White House doesn't work that way. They put out talking points for others to spin.
