The Best Governor Ever?
Harriet Miers thinks that
George W. Bush is really "cool" and "just great!", and was "the best governor ever."
Oh dear God.
One expects a certain amount of sycophancy in politics, of course. But the relationship between Miers and the president seems forged entirely out of ass-kissing. I suppose there's a place for that...but not on the Supreme Court. We still expect more from the nation's top jurists.
This nomination is sinking because Miers has no constituency other than the president. And with his poll numbers where they are, this time, that's not going to be enough. I still haven't read the article that explains exactly how Bush decided that now was the time to nominate an unqualified crony to the Supreme Court...but I'd like to. Because this is going to hurt him at a time when he is scrambing to salvage his second term, and can't afford many more hits.
