The woman who would disagree that she was a women if the "liberals" said she was, is opposing the appointment of Harriet Miers? Who is this woman? The infamous Anne "Pie-face" Coulter, a nick-name loving earned when she was pied.

A few excerpts:

Which brings us to the other enraging argument being made by the Bush administration and its few remaining defenders -- the claim of "elitism." I also don't know when the Republican Party stopped being the party of merit and excellence and became the party of quotas and lying about test scores, but I don't like that development either.
I would venture to guess about the time you stopped praising them for everything they did, praise bordering on fellatio.

Despite the astonishing fact that Miers was THE FIRST WOMAN to head the Texas Bar Association -- a dumping ground for losers, by the way
Coulter has aimed her venom mouth at her own side.

The other straw-man argument constantly being hawked by the Bush administration is that Miers' critics object that she's never been a judge. To quote another Bush -- Read my lips: No one has said that. So please stop comparing Miers to Justice Byron White (first in his class at Yale Law School) or Justice
William Rehnquist (first in his class at Stanford Law School).
Who believed that would ever happen?

I genuinely feel sorry for Miers. I'm sure she's a lovely woman, brighter than average, and well-qualified for many important jobs. Just not the job Bush has nominated her for. The terrible thing Bush has done to Miers is to force people who care about the court to say that.
Or that.

Though granted, if Miers was a liberal, she would get "I don't feel sorry for her, I am sure she is a clown who likes to eat glue."

its kinda creepy to see the conservatives deserting bush like this. are they positioning themselves for the 06 and 08 elections, distancing themselves from the loser bush is becoming (mostly because they are deserting him)?

i really dont get it. do they gain so much by crippling the president?

Frankly, it is like rats escaping a sinking ship.

I would've maybe used the pig imagery, but then I always was partial to rats.
Not Conservatives.

Awww, wish I'd been on the forums a good two hours ago, I was hoping nobody would beat me to this, after the LURVELY post I'd thought up about it last night.

Stupid hangover :mad:

yes it is

and even though im a godless liberal, i dont like it. how is anything going to get done in the next 2.5 years?

A conservative who can distance himself or herself from a President with bellow-40% approval ratings and not look bad doing it could be up for the Republican nod for PRESIDENT or at least the Senate if the 08 presidential race is too soon for that particular poltician.

Why should we care what that parasitic media whore thinks? She contributes nothing worthwhile to society and is completely worthless.

Imagine that... people having their own opinions as opposed to marching lock-step.

Edit: It's not like she liked Roberts either.

So are you saying, "Damn Dubya Ann is right!" or "Damn Coulter we should support the President!"

I'm saying "Damn, the rats are fleeing like the Titanic hit an iceberg."

I'm just wondering, if the Titanic hit an iceberg, where would they flee to? The lifeboats? If so, how would they row them? It never made sense. If the ship is sinking, where exactly would the rats flee?

at his own risk. if the president is ineffective, so is the whole republican party and who would want another one in ANY office?

I thought everyone knew - rats are magic. Whenever a ship sinks, all the rats aboard teleport to New York.

My interpretation of it was that the rats don't make it to safety. Which would make it a term for when an entire group decides to abandon something, and in the process ends up in the very trouble they were trying to avoid.

As I've said elsewhere, it looks like the Republicans have been taking lessons from the Democrats in how to self-destruct. Hopefully they'll keep on pointing fingers at each other long beyond the next Presidential election.

(As for rats fleeing a sinking ship - how much intelligence are you crediting to rats in this? It's not like they know they're in the middle of the Atlantic, a thousand miles from the nearest land.)
