Harriet Miers
Yeah ... I know how you feel.
Everytime the wife makes meatloaf I tell her I've got to go on a diet.

You have a point, but that's the way I feel about this pick.
"She donated to the DNC and ALGORE for President!"
Actually, I was just looking this morning and there was a Harriet Miers in Texas who donated to Lloyd Bentsen, the DNC and Al Gore in the late 80's.

Geez, donor to Al Gore and Lloyd Bentsen in '88?
Say it ain't so. :-(
How do you know that she donated to dnc and algore? If it is true give us some proof. We operate better with proof.
This is not a legal resume, but a PR release. I just do not know enough about the woman to know if this is a good choice. My spouse is already having a tantrum about the pick and Bush hasn't ven made it yet.
Sigh....
I wasn't even old enough to vote in 2000, and I still paid attention.
You should've picked up on the fact that Bush isn't Reagan when he first said "I'm a compassionate conservative."
You are an idiot!
Taking air out of the Republican tires.
There were plenty of good solild well-known conservatives such as JRB, Edith Miller, Alito, etc. who were more qualified and who he could have picked, but instead he picks a personal friend.
Maybe if he tried nominating a strong conservative with a paper trail, the Democrats and RINOs would have eventually blocked the nominee. But Bush owes his election to conservatives, and he owes it us to at least try. But I guess he'd rather go with his good friend and his former personal lawyer instead. I consider this a betrayal.
Sacrifice to the Senate?
They can't very credibly burn at the stake two in a row...
Frankly I don't know what to think.
Thank you.

This may not be so bad...read the article.
What bothers me is that it looks like she stuck to the dems while the dems were in power, then when the pubbies started gaining control ion TX she switched to the winning side. It sounds more like opprotunism than ideological change of heart.
She has donated to Al Gore and Lloyd Bentsen. Remind me not to hire you for research.
In that case, it sounds like she's the perfect pick for this administration.
The Dems were in power in 1987 & 1988?
