What nonsense.

[nuconvert]

"That decision has sparked the most serious crisis of Mr Bush's almost five years in office."

Oh yeah. 9/11 and the war in Iraq are nothing compared to this. Lol.

On what evidence does this author base his comments about the first lady. All I remember her saying is she wanted him to pick a woman candidate.

Oh, and IB4TFW!

[Mears]

And the beat goes on-------!

[mrs tiggywinkle]

I'll venture to say that words and intent were both manufactured and twisted to better serve the author's agenda.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

What's your take on this, Hunden?

[jwalsh07]

She then angered conservative critics of the nomination by telling a television interviewer that sexism was probably behind their opposition to the choice.

Lies, lies and more lies.

It's the Sunday Telegraph. 'Nuff said

Funny, I don't LOOK or FEEL "torn apart" nor do any other
Republicans I know.

This article seems so hysterical in tone and flowery, emotional rhetoric as to be...well, if I didn't know any better, I'd say it was written by CindySheehanFromJail.

[Theresawithanh]

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that little manufactured tidbit there. I'll confess, I stopped reading about halfway through.

Sky is falling! Sky is falling! BushhitlerDarthVaderallyourbasebelongstous...

This article reads like a Howard Dean speech. Or maybe Al Gore before the Sierra Club: "we're all dooomed, sea level's rising, temperatures up, BushLIEEEDDD..."

[Stellar Dendrite]

Don't forget about Ed Gillespie, who stated that some of the unease about miers "has a whiff of sexism and a whiff of elitism."

What nonsense.

Mommy, make the bad man go away. I wish this was merely nonsense. Bush's lame nomination is fracturing conservatives. It's reality not nonsense.

[Maynerd]

This article reads like a Howard Dean speech.

Now that's a outstanding example of nonsense.

I can agree with the "whiff of elitism" but not the sex-
ism part at all. Did the GWB admin start reading the D's
play book all of a sudden?

BTW what is the point of all of this? To get Meir's to quit
her effort? the D's are laughing at us over this.

[GladesGuru]

Does Mrs. Bush realize Judge Brown is also female, and far better qualified?

Or is croynism becoming more acceptable to Pubbies when the Bush's do it?

[Maynerd]

"That decision has sparked the most serious crisis of Mr Bush's almost five years in office." Oh yeah. 9/11 and the war in Iraq are nothing compared to this. Lol.

Thats POLITICAL crisis. Bush's choice is dividing his base. Sad but true.

[rushmom]

Your point is well taken but Miers was a dumb pick. The Bush women are social liberals and I really don't want them making any court picks.
