I trust the President when he says that Harriet experienced discrimintation and predijuice! Why, if she hadn't she might have risen to head a state lottery and even become a personal attorney of a President! Yes, Mr President, we need more diversifity on High Court in this fascist, racist country.
Stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
Miers was put on the Lottery Commission to root out corruption and she did. I'm sure you agree that if a state is going to have a Lottery (leaving aside the question if you are in favor of them at all---if one does exist, one must deal with it) it is best to have it run cleanly.
Ack, the part of my post where I questioned the claim that President Bush said Miers had in fact experienced discrimination or just said she had overcome the odds (a run-of-the mill description when few women attended law school in her day, etc), got deleted somehow and the Lottery part left.
Anyhoo, this was part of my other reply to your decrying Miers rising to the top.
