A 30-second TV ad is set to air tomorrow, Wednesday, that some believe may be as effective at helping stop the Harriett Miers confirmation as the Swift Boat ads were in helping stop John Kerry.
BetterJustice.org, a conservative grass-roots organization, created and funded the hard-hitting anti-Miers (but pro-Bush) ad. The organization's board of directors includes several otherwise staunch Republican stalwarts, such as David Frum and Linda Chavez.
"Miers is no more qualified to sit on the Supreme Court than I am to be a sumo wrestler!" So stated the so very un-sumo-like Ann Coulter.

>>When I read about him now, I picture him drooling and spinning around in the middle of the room. <<
And you're not engaged in a "smear tactic" yourself?
So now you're calling George HW Bush a pinhead - he is the one that used that phrase.
Well they outweigh Ann by about fifty pounds each.
No, but your own ignorance is nothing to be proud of either.
When Harriet Miers raves and rants like Frum does, get back to me.
He/She never responded to my retort that GHWB was the one who introduced that phrase to the public.
Sinkspur is very liberal when it comes to facts.
And nobody, NOBODY went all hysteric over that; not pundits, not talking heads, not columnists, not the populace.
When they used to teach the Constitution to 14 year olds, they ALL had a clear concept of the Constitution. It really isn't all that hard !
Uh-huh.
I'm not one of those saying any of those things you fantasize in your second paragraph. Bush deserves criticism when he's wrong, and there's plenty of it, and most of it is fair and considered.
What is NOT considered or fair is short-circuiting the nomination process by doing and saying everything possible to force Miers to quit.
Apparently, my believing Miers has a right to a hearing is the equivalent of acting like a Nazi.
You have a fevered little brain, mobyss. And, why on earth did you choose "moby" to be part of your name? We have a very negative view of "Moby" around here since the election.
She will most likely say something very vague and then say something along the lines of "Were I to rehearse here what I would say and how I would reason on such questions, I would act injudiciously". Ginsberg used the quoted text to avoid directly answering questions.
This is why the hearings are not going to be any sort of great revelation.
Do you think Reagan got his monies worth with O'Connor?
We are carping because we have experienced the results of affirmative action picks and don't want to repeat the mistake.
Forgive me for not quite seeing the equivalence of being tipsy with slaughtering 6 million Jews.
Hven't read much about the debates at the Constitutional Convention I see.
It is never too late.
Why?
That's "strategery" for ya.
What do you want? A Hemingway or a conservative?
Get your priorities straight man. The woman is not a retard like others have been implying. Just admit it.
Duh...I had no idea....../sarcasm
Of all the known candidates on the list, Miers was the LEAST qualified and has NO conservative credentials.
Most conservatives are seeking a well-qualified proven conservative to change the direction of the court, regardless of the "constitutional requirement."
Where have you been? That's what the hoopla is all about.
Every time I hear the word "stategery", I think it is more an excuse for continued "stupidity".
You know the rules. When speaking of another poster, make sure you ping that poster.
No I haven't but then I am a realist rather than a hysterical whiner.
