TRANSCRIPT FROM TUCKER CARLSON SHOW:

Adding to the sexism, elitism, faith, and threat cards in the White House arsenal, comes the "far right" card.

Speaking in support of Harriet Miers on Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show last night was Brad Blakeman, described by Carlson as "a former deputy assistant to President Bush [who] shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years."

I'm posting the entire transcript of the Blakeman interview below. Go to the parts in bold to see the "far right" business. CARLSON: ...today one of the many questions regarding Harriet Miers has been answered, in part, anyway, in a questionnaire Miers filled out while running for the Dallas city council in 1989. She clearly indicated, or seemed to, that she's opposed to abortion, unless the mother's life was in danger.

Some conservatives are not satisfied with that, but one who appears to be, joins us now from Washington. He is Brad Blakeman. He's a former deputy assistant to President Bush. He shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years.

Mr. Blakeman, thanks for coming on. [SNIP]

BLAKEMAN: No. I think, Tucker, the president could have put forth Mother Teresa, and there were some on the far right that said, "Well, you know, she's not really religious enough for me."

CARLSON: That's totally not true. You know that that's not true.

BLAKEMAN: No, it is true. The fact of the matter is, the far right...

CARLSON: Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Slow down.

BLAKEMAN: The far right thinks that...

Far right???..what is this guy talking about? The far right religious, the far right neo-cons, the far right white supremacists, the far right intellectual judicial conservative movement people?

LMAO......how true!!!!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yes, it is inaccurate.

Unless you consider Professor Jonathan Turley, Stuart Taylor Jr., David Frum, David Brooks, William Kristol, Professor Glenn Reynolds, Professor Eugene Volokh, and Charles Krauthammer to be enlisted in the "far right."

well it's good to see the miers foot soldiers have adopted nearly all the tactics of the left as they bash conservatives.

I think there's a reason for that. Our president is a tax-and-spend liberal, and the reaction of his loyal subjects to the appointment of his crony has angered him enough that the mask came off.

[Shalom Israel]

So the 'Bots are now trying to use Mother Theresa to put lipstick on this pig? Nice. Real Nice.

I agree. It's an ironic move, though, considering that Mother Theresa was a monster. Example: her "hospitals" did not stock pain-killers; instead she told "patients" in agony that "your pain means Jesus is kissing you."
