Consuela Callahan-don't know if she is Catholic but I did read a smary article about her when she was on the short list-she has a hobby of tap dancing and the article related how she once gave a speech and after her speech she took off her robe and climbed up on the table and did a spiffy tap dance and said, I am not a tap dancing judge. Now you just know this was taken out of context but I feared right away this story would make the rounds if she were nominated and she would be made a fool of.
I'm thinking one of the other justices has told Bush that he/she will have to leave the Bench soon and he has asked him/her to wait till he gets the O'Connor seat filled. Can you imagine the chaos if we had two vacancies simultaneously?
In a perfect world, W could name the best qualified person, be it be a WASP or whatever. But our society demands "diversity".
Tap dancing. ROTFLOL! I'm dying here.
"she took off her robe and climbed up on the table and did a spiffy tap dance ..."
OH MY! She actually disrobed in public?LOL
I "think" I have regained my composure now...lol. Oh yes, you're so right -- that smarmy article about her alledged tap dance, would have reduced her to fodder for Letterman and Leno.
This process, which should be one of respect and integrity as well as thorough, has been reduced to such slime that I believe the number of willing persons is sorely limited.
So you're saying Bush nominated "Church Lady"?
