These quotes are very telling, most disturbing, and quite damning.
After each one I found myself just uttering an increasingly incredulous, "OH MY GOD!"
If it's not now over for this woman, it certainly should be.
NO, it is the Establishment that is having a hissy fit cause one of their "heros" was not picked. It is the Conservative Base that is looking around wondering "What the "bleep" has gotten into these self-important twits."
It must be incumbent upon all who wish, or who desired and therefore were on notice that the effort required to respond, or to not answer, as necessity dictates in these stressful and questioning interludes of reason, that what the natural tendency really wasn't to take as criticism, really, in the final analysis, is, or was.
LOL. Good head-scratcher.
You know you are in establishment GOP circles when the conversation is bland but unifying. You know you are in conservative circles when it is interesting but divisive.

To take this to the next level, try watching a meeting of Libertarians and/or Homeschooler parents... The creativity, individuality, interest, respect, are beyond fascinating!
I say this from reading threads here on FR where these persons congregate.
I'd be interested to hear what this terminology is.
I'm beginning to wonder if Johnnie is Bush or Harriet! He's on every thread about Harriet with ad hominem attacks against anyone who DARE opposes King George! Treason! Off with their heads!
I could drink a little tank of printer's ink and puke a better response than hers.
"Poverty of Thought Content" is the broadest term and probably the most descriptive, and the one that first came to my mind, quickly followed by the good old lay descriptor, "gibberish".
I'd love to hear some cubical dwellers and those in other professions tell their terms for this sort of gibberish, found all too often in various organizations.
Gotta head on over to make rounds at my evening gig, so can't dwell too long, but Poverty of Thought Content is most often used to describe the vague and digressive ramblings of schizophrenics, who can often talk endlessly and yet convey nothing informational.
(BTW, the president's pick is in NO way suffering from schizophrenia or any other serious mental illness that I can see, but her style of thinking demonstrated in these quotes is quite disturbing nonetheless, for exactly the reasons the author states.)
#18...laughing so hard....can't brea...breathe....LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are now qualified for the SCOTUS! LOLOL
She's obvously writing down to her audience. I'm sorry, but it doesn't read any different from any other legal boilerplate I've ever seen.
I think you make a good point. It seems likely that she got elected Texas State Bar president and made a law firm managing partner not because she is an intellectual giant or a gifted writer, but because she is likeble and isn't the least bit dangerous or threatening to her peers and superiors.
Everybody can get along with Harriet. Her word gun shoots nerf balls, and never hits the same target twice.
Our worst problems are fixed by not tolerating bad conditions and by commitment.
I don't see any problem with that for the president of an organization who has to put out some monthly or bi-weekly pablum in a newsletter.
That doesn't mean her stuff is useless. I can think of situations where a law firm might well choose Miers over the least talented summer hire intern to author a particular piece of documentation--answers to interrogatories, for example.
I can envision an opposing law firm assigning ten lawyers at $500 an hour, 60 hours a week, just to decipher and make sense of the mess, only to give up when their client's retainer and bank account ran dry.
IF ANY ONE OF YOU TAKE A CHANCE ON MIERS FOLKS IS LISTENING IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO SEND THIS GUY A PRIVATE EMAIL TELLING HIM TO QUIT HURTING YOUR CAMP.
If she gets on the court she will evolve to a full blown social liberal within 3-5 years. Take another look at Brooks article. She has pushed affirmative action, civil rights, gay agendas, feminist causes and the "poor". She also sways with the faddish causes. Then there are the donations to demorats. She is Souter-in-drag. We will be stuck with this airhead for 20-25 years of muddle-headed decisions.
"The Miers nomination isn't about abortion at all. It's about putting somebody on the court who will protect the legacy Bush cares about most: the expansion of presidential power during the war on terrorism"
He can depend on Harriet.
