Ah so, so you propose I take the word of a language teacher whose father possibly once knew or saw Meirs 15 or 20 years ago. That's not exactly proof. It is secondhand hearsay at best. And you insist that I agree to it before you even provide it. No thanks, I pass-- rest assured he is in no danger of me troubling him.
Aren't you a cutie. Nobody gave me a memory wipe. I had a different post in mind. You're behind the times.
Perhaps you were responding to a different post and got mixed up. It seems less than clear to me what you were referring to. If you are confused as to which post you are responding to, I'll leave it at that ;-).
Influencing is not choosing.
That's so patently obvious hardly anyone here would contend with it, I would be willing to believe. Perhaps some of us are unable to concede when a point has been made? ;-)
Oh sure, as part of the anti-Miers forces you talk about being abducted by aliens.
Which is obviously a light hearted jest. Perhaps someone got off the wrong side of the bed this morning? ;-)
Miers has been accused of and called everything including, Caligula's Horse, unintelligent, a dullard, dumb, without the ability to write, and many other things.
Most of which has nothing to do with my comments. But raising the issue of ability to write is a legitimate concern. I'm sorry but it's a nomination and the qualifications for nomination are a legitimate part of public discourse. Unless you disagree that citizens have a right to comment on government policy and executive, legislative, or judicial qualifiations of nominees and appointees and elected officials.
If Meirs is as tough as she needs to be, these are issues her resume should have defenses for (and hold the WH shills, thanks). Unless you think she's not so tough and needs help , in which case I suggest you consider her qualifications again with a more critical perspective. Maybe Meirs supporters are demonstrating here that they really subconsciously upset with themselves, and lash out at others as a way to deny or avoid the contradictions inherent in their own public positions on the issues. Sheesh.
Harriet Meirs-- have the foresight to permit the White House to dump the shameful need to "market" you to the constituency who elected the president, and the decency to withdraw your nomination. Now. Thank you.
