This nomination has the chance of being withdrawn before the Senate
Committee begins discussion. The lady is a hack.

Maybe George Will is developing some common sense finally.

I also suspect that he is an opportunist and sees the
Republican party going down in a cloud of dust and he wishes
to remain employed so he'll concede some points that are not
in keeping with the militant, radical, insane right.
In today's column George Will unleashed this political cluster bomb:
"The president has forfeited his right to be trusted
as a custodian of the Constitution."
- George Will (Oct 4, 2005)
George Will chooses his words carefully. He knows that "trust" has been
one of Dubya's calling cards. He also knows that the Oath of Office
for President of the United States carries just two requirements:
1) to faithfully execute the duties of the office, and
2) to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.
George Will is directly challenging the legitimacy of this president in
ways no conservative has previously dared to consider. This may signal
the end of this administration. After all, McCarthy was brought down
by his own party. Nixon resigned under pressure from his own party.
Perhaps this is Will's response to Stephanopoulos' bombshell from "This
Week." Will was sitting right there looking awfully discomfited by
Stephanopoulos revealing he had learned that Bush and Cheney were
"directly linked" to the Plame affair.
Even at his most vituperative, Will never said anything so harsh to
George's dad... and Will made no secret of his loathing for the older
Bush.

You can't spell "wrong" without "W"
I love it! Spot on!
Use it freely. Here's a variant:
Wrong begins with a silent "W"
The Rev. Will is nothing but a fundie.

You remind me of my favorite snippet from Suetonius' "The Lives of the
Caesars". The story was that Nero married a young man in an official
ceremony. The joke that went around Rome afterward: "If Nero's father had
married that kind of bride, Rome would be a much happier place."
They have.
No demonkraps' rectum is ever empty.
If that is what you think passes for wit, let me point out you are half
right.
In arguing that Cheney is not a Texan, she asked a judge to take a
"broad and inclusive view" of the Constitution.
The only thing left out of her argument was the "living, breathing
document" fiction.
