There’s an article on Time.com about how the White House “hopes to relaunch the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court by moving from what they call a ‘biographical phase’ to an ‘accomplishment phase.”

The language – “relaunch” – strikes me as kind of bizarre. Like she’s a product they’re trying to sell. Which, I suppose, she is. Harriet Miers, version 2.0, now with less fat and fewer calories.

I mean, really? How can we deny an easy-to-use pop-top opening? lol

"The new version of Harriet Miers no longer requires refrigeration, and has an easy-to-use pop-top opening, so you don't need the can opener."

And true. That's what we get from the first MBA president. Just look at all the iterations of sales strategies they're using for the war. I remember when they first starting talk of war it was like the new bushco product for the season.
