BUSHCO PREPARING TO MAKE MIERS NOMINATION DISAPPEAR, SAVING JOHN CORNYN FROM THE ROMAN HRUSKA ROLE IN CURRENT FARCE

>

One of the Bush Regime's unofficial media mouthpieces, THE WASHINGTON TIMES (aka- The Moonie Times, because it is owned by right-wing money launderer/tax crook/religionist loon Sun Myung Moon) is reporting that BushCo is looking for a graceful way out of their Harriet Miers' conundrum. The imbecile who nominated her on a whim (aka- "Mr Stay the Course," because of his ill-informed and arrogant "mean drunk" personality), is terrified that certain defeat by the Republican-controlled Senate will unmask him as the Emperor With No Clothes (and, more importantly, as the Schlemiel With No Capital).

According to the 2 Moonies who wrote "Insiders See Hint of Miers Pullout", BushCo operatives are making "contingency plans for the withdrawal" not of American troops in Iraq but of Harriet Miers absurd nomination to the Supreme Court. The 2 Moonie propaganda cyphers quote a senior BushCo operative as saying "We're not discussing pulling out her nomination, but if we were to, do you have any advice as to how we should do it?" Although BushCo hasn't asked Ralph Neas or Ted Kennedy, they have been calling every right-wing psychopath in their phone book for advice of how to get out of this without Bush looking like a failed, incompetent idiot.

Of course official BushCo spokespersons deny this-- they deny everything always; that's their job-- one "conservative political consultant" pointed to Sara Taylor, director of the Office of White House Political Affairs, as the advice asker, and a second right-winger-- the leader of an influential special interest group of religionist loons with strong BushCo ties-- confirmed that calls are being made to a select group of right-wing power-mongers who are not directly employed by BushCo. "The political people in the White House are very worried about how she will do in the hearings," the second conservative leader said. "I think they have finally awakened."

After Miers' disastrous meetings with individual Judiciary Committee members, all of whom reported that basically they had finally come across someone working in DC who understood less about the U.S. Constitution than George W. Bush, all further meetings between Miers and non-White House staffers would be canceled "for now." According to the 2 Moonies "Republican lawyers on the committee staff have said Miss Miers' meetings with senators have gone poorly. That's why, they say, the White House has shifted its strategy from the private meetings to 'boning up' for the hearings." BushCo operatives were stung when GOP Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) said Miss Miers needs a "crash course" in constitutional law. Other senators also suggested she take a crash course in writing. The only senator who seems to believe she's qualified is himself widely thought to be patently unqualified to hold any public office, Texas right-wing loon, John Cornyn, a bumbling laughing-stock, destined to play the role of Roman Hruska should BushCo decide to play this farce out in public.

There are reports that several Supreme Court justices were laughing so uncontrollably when Cornyn's moronic remarks about Miers--"When you take a look at Harriet Miers' career, what you see is a lawyer who has a breadth of legal experience unmatched by any justice currently sitting on the Supreme Court"-- started getting around Washington, that people worried about heart attacks. Right-wing observers of the total confusion at the White House attribute the disaster to Rove's attention being on other more pressing matters (ie- staying out of prison for treason) and on an ill-fated attempt by Andrew Card and George W Bush to try to handle Rove's former role (of running the United States).

This morning's L.A. TIMES has a story on Miers' inability to answer basic questions on her Senate questionnaire: MIERS' ANSWER RAISES QUESTIONS-- LEGAL EXPERTS FIND A MISUSE OF TERMS IN HER SENATE QUESTIONNAIRE 'TERRIBLE' AND 'SHOCKING.' Basically, she didn't have much to say and what she did say had constitutional experts "shaking their heads." One NYU law professor, Burt Neuborne, horrified by one of her absurd answers, said "If a first-year law student wrote that and submitted it in class, I would send it back and say it was unacceptable."

According to the L.A. TIMES story "Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan, also an expert on voting rights, said she was surprised the White House did not check Miers' questionnaire before sending it to the Senate. 'Are they trying to set her up? Any halfway competent junior lawyer could have checked the questionnaire and said it cannot go out like that. I find it shocking,' she said." Some people are wondering if, with Rove, otherwise occupied, it wasn't Bush-- who Miers seems to think is the most brilliant man she ever met-- who helped her fill in her homework.

Jane Hamsher has all the dirt of the BushCo flip-flops about Miers over at firedoglake. Her most recent update has a statement with former Newt Gingrich flack/current Moonie Times loon, Tony Blankley confirming on MSNBC that "the sourcing was accurate with regard to 'at least one staffer' who was reaching out on this question. He says that no decisions have been made on whether or not to withdraw the nomination, but that the Senate is sending the strongest possible message to the WH that there are substantial problems with the nomination, short of saying directly that she should be withdrawn."

Jane is guessing that the planned "weekend at Camp David with Bush and Andy Card won't exactly be a relaxing spa-looking-at-the-fall-leaves-sipping-mulled-cider sort of time. And when you add in Hurricane Fitz..."

It's more evidence that the dog who once controlled bush's brain, is chin deep in water, trying to save himself from his successful attempts to manipulate our media and consequently, the people, into believing that his lying ass strategy of hate and character destruction was the right way to go.
And now, our nation is chin deep in water trying to paddle out of this horrible mess that hate creates.
When bush said "trust me" on the Harriet Meirs nomination, he was saying trust me, she'll vote against a woman's right to choose.
She has no legs and this president is too much a simpleton. Without his brain, this is what we get. Perhaps that's not such a bad thing. Harriet Miers is toast.
