There is abundant evidence, extending over 25 years, that the 60 year old Miers has the touchy-feely sensibilities of a social worker, that she's borderline illiterate, and completely disengaged from weighty intellectual pursuits especially of a constitutional dimension. She's a glad-hander and everybody's pal. That's all the "gravitas" she has.

At this late stage of her life, no amount of cramming for her Senate Judiciary Committee final exam is going to transform her into something she is not. That doesn't mean she won't give the appearance of being qualified. Senate Judiciary Committee hearings are carefully choreographed dog-and-pony shows. If the administration's tactics are successful, you'll hear Miers fling zingers she's carefully memorized that will make you pause and say, "Hmmm. There's more depth to this nominee than her most cynical critics ever dreamed of."

Only there isn't.

Miers is a shallow pool. Playing angles with the cameras may give the appearance of depth, but only a fool would discount what is already known and attempt to launch a ship in that pool.

If you are correct, this surely will be apparent in the Judiciary Hearings. Regards.

Nice summation of the characteristics that you and your chums have painted onto the invisible woman.

Where did you learn to paint? Or do you just use paint by numbers?
