54 percent of Americans think President Bush values party loyalty and personal friendship over competence.
Mike Brown, Harriet Meiers.
'nuff said.

Just more Bush hate from the "going down for the third time" Dems who have floated yet another last ditch "strategy " for winning in '06...based on their notion that the "White House is in big trouble".
It still hasn't dawned on them that an alternative platform might interest voters. Hate seems to be their only recourse.

Look at the source. It's not by a Dem, and it's in a conservative magazine.

So, why was it a bad thing that Joseph Wilson got the assignment to Niger because of his wife's recommendation but it's a good thing that Harriet Miers got nominated to the Supreme Court because of the recommendation of her close personal friend, the President? Both seem equally well qualified or unqualified for their positions, yet the Bushbots loathe the first but worship the second. Also you forgot Julie Myers (General Myers' minimally qualified niece) for head of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) as one of the recent buddy appointments.

Don't kid yourself. This is "party-speak".

Oh, you see, the Wilson case was different. That was nepotism. This is cronyism. So long as the unqualified people you appoint aren't family members, it's okay.</Bushbot mode>

Joe Wilson was TAPPED from outside the administration. Who jumped up from the table (An Old Dem in the White House) and went to see Valerie? Somehow, I don't think Joe's tea party went through proper channels.

Look at the source. It's not by a Dem, and it's in a conservative magazine. Yeah, a magazine that is deterimined to torpedo Harriett Meirs and, apparently, the Bush presidency.
William F. Buckley is hanging his head in shame at the sandbox his formerly-proud publication has become.

Mike Brown, Harriet Meiers. 'nuff said.
Not quite. You left out Julie Myers.

Hate seems to be their only recourse The Lunatic Right
likes to hate just as much as
the Lunatic Left.
The Lunatic Right
has already abandoned
Bush. Now there is talk
Chaney will resign.
If the VP goes, that will
create momentum
to all the hate groups,
both on the Left and the Right
and I'm bracing up
to see Bush forced to
resign in a year or two.
And God help us all.

Sounds like a good description of her knowledge of Constitutional law. But don't worry....we know she's a heck of a bowler, so all is well.

Hey, instead of coming up with bizzare conspiracy theories and psycho-analyzing people you disagree with, why don't you guys try dealing with the substance of the article?
