Judiciary Cmte Q for Miers: "Is it true you once said that G.W. Bush was

'the most brilliant man you had ever met'? Do you still feel the same way?"

Do you think any Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee would ask Miers such a question during her confirmation hearings?

She'd just say . .

. . Well, he nominated me didn't he?" . . and everybody would laugh and she'd be able to show how she has such a great sense of humor.

And the Dem who asked it would be seen as a sourpuss whiner who was using a SC nomination hearing to get in nasty digs on our dear president.

I hope none of them are stupid enough to ask it.

As far as Bush being brilliant . . he is running our government for the second term - and we're not. Even if he didn't engineer one bit of it he was smart enough to let Rove and Norquist and others do the dirty work . . and to follow their instructions.

4. The questioner could add, "And don't just say 'He nominated me, didn't he'?"

1. If she answers yes to both of those questions

that should be enough to disqualify her for two reasons either she is 1) incredibly stupid herself or 2) she is a big liar.

2. Follow up. Did you ever meet a man who could button his shirt?

Did you ever meet a man who didn't say "more better?"

ON EDIT: pre-2000

I doubt anybody is gonna ask this question.

1. George Bush ain't dumb
2. When she said it was probably an "ex-ag-ur-a-shun" in some kind of fawning context.

6. well, she's been repaid for sucking up

That's the only way you get anywhere with Bush - forget all that "experience" and "qualifications" stuff. You just suck his ego and he's yours.

She's either a moron or a sociopath or both.

8. Most likely, a "Saturday Night Live" sketch will steal the thunder

of Kennedy or Biden on this David Frum recollection, and keep my suggested question from being asked.

It's still great material though, isn't it?!
