Laura Ingraham blew a gasket when Bush nominated Harriet Myers for the Supreme Court. She has been less than supportive of Bush ever since, IMO.
Ingraham's work helped keep that underqualified ninny off the court too....thank God for that.
You bet giraffe, and rightly so. Forget Iraq, which will be someone else's problem come January 2009 -- Supreme Court Justice Harriet Miers would have been an annual tragic reminder of Bush's penchant for cronyism. Alberto Gonzales and Miers have both served as personal attorneys to Bush, and they've both been embarrassments in their national roles.
Ingraham respects the Supreme Court having been a clerk for Clarence Thomas, and could not fathom the selection of the totally inexperienced Miers over seasoned, respected jurists who were eminently qualified. Bush loyalists pretended that merit wasn't the issue, suggesting that people from Ivy League colleges (Ingraham went to Dartmouth) couldn't stand the idea that someone with a Texas A&M law degree could be on the high Court.
