Coulter can gloat all she wants, but it's pointless if no one cares what she thinks any more. It's interesting that the White House was able to maintain the nomination just long enough for enough people on the right - Coulter included -- to lose it and show us who they really are. The Miers nomination aside, they are mistaken if they think they have not done harm to their reputations.
Troubled childhood? lol
I admire her for her work, but I don't think she was treated unfairly at all. She was a very bad pick and we did the right thing in making sure she was not confirmed. It would have been wrong to sit back and let her be confirmed--nothing unfair about that. She was treated with respect.
I am with you kiddo. George Will, Coulter and Judge Bork, have gone down several notches in my estimation. Will and Coulter especially have delusions of superiority. I have no problem with them disagreeing with Bush on this nomination. But why the invective, the insults and disrespect aimed at Harriet Miers? What did she ever do to them? And the insults to Bush too. I won't soon forget it.
Yes, precisely. Ms. Miers has made and will continue to make significant contributions to this administration and to this government.
Trent can just remove his foot from his mouth and carry on.
She wasn't even given a chance at a confirmation hearing, and was basically shoved out her nomination.
That's respectful, alright /sarc
P.S: A note for the holier-than-thous here: The fact that Harriet Miers withdrew may have you throwing a party right now, but this will eventually will come back to bite us in our asscracks!!!
Because it is a favorite pick of many conservatives whether they are evangelical or not. She is a minority woman with a great record. The dems are fearful of a showdown because in spite of their smoke and mirrors they know they are a minority. Roberts proved that. Senators are not Lone Rangers, they do have to be accountable to the voters eventually and if the public is solidly behind the next nominee the senate will have a responsibility to confirm (assuming the hearings go OK).
Honestly, I think the PUBLIC outrage had more to do with Miers backing out than any collective pressures from nitwit politicians.
"She was treated with respect."
Let me catch my breath here ..... Okay, whether you agreed with the nomination or not, that you can enter those words in that order into your computer with a straight face is astounding to me. Be honest, you've got your fingers crossed while you're typing, right?
"You won your Miers jihad."
Wow. Your rhetoric gets better and better.
"Quite clearly, our lovely Miers' bashers in Washington that apparently gave her such a hard time, got their way. Doesn't that sound like what spoiled brats do? They kick and scream until everybody gives in."
I've never heard expressing opinion under the first amendment put quite that way before.
"Just remember who is the President."
Just remember who are the People.
Shut up davis. You won. Now show some manners and stop running around, rubbing it in.
"Everyone on the left just wanted us to shut up and let a bad nominee be confirmed."
I'm not sure what "everyone on the left" has to do with it. But "plenty of people on the right" thought the nominee was badly treated. And I don't know ANYONE who wanted a bad nominee confirmed - sorry, but that just strikes me as nonsense.
"Shut up davis. You won. Now show some manners and stop running around, rubbing it in.
You must be joking. I've not said one thing that could be construed as rubbing it in. All I'm doing is criticizing people who I think are overreacting a bit regarding how this has played out as well as their dire predictions. That's not rubbing it in.
So you think that if I criticize you for calling the opposition to Ms. Miers a "jihad," that's rubbing it in? Apparently you and I have a different definition of that phrase.
George Will's column written right after the nomination. It was dripping with scorn. Robert Bork's column called "Slouching Toward Miers", Ann Coulter called her "a cleaning lady " when she appeared on the Bill Maher's show. (Whatever Coulter see in that horny conservative hating snake Maher anyway??)
"However nice, helpful, prompt and tidy she is, Harriet Miers isn't qualified to play a Supreme Court justice on 'The West Wing,' let alone to be a real one," conservative columnist Ann Coulter said in one of the more cutting comments."
Ann Coulter is shrew. A SHREW defined as:
"A woman with a violent, scolding, or nagging temperament; a scold." She should bump heads with Maureen Dowd.
