<p>David Frum of the National Review Online says Miers “once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met.”</p>

<p>LMAO! Very sad!</p>

<p>Oh, I don’t know. His rear-view mirror is filled with angry, dust-covered people who still insist they’re smarter than him. I’ll bet Columbo was his favorite 70s TV show. :)</p>

<p>If President Bush is not brilliant, then what does it say about democrat after democrat who has been bested by the President? I guess that means most democrats are idiots.</p>

<p>With that said, I will say I am not sure how bright the President was for choosing Harriet Miers to serve on the Supreme Court. It wasn’t his usual “A Game”. She is clearly a “token woman” without any great intellect or extraordinary career achievements. Being President of the Texas State Bar is not much of an intellectual achievment. Although Justice Ginsberg is among the worst on the bench and the worst who will ever serve, at least she demonstrated extraordinary brilliance before Hillary Clinton decided she should be a Justice. If you read some of her over 50 law review articles, you can tell she is far more intelligent than your typical very good lawyer. Ms. Miers is not much more than your run of the mill lawyer who happens to wear a skirt and is trusted by the President.</p>

<p>No, actually it means that a slight majority of people in the US are idiots.</p>

<p>It probably just means she’s not met that many men. :)</p>

<p>Razorsharp, Bush the Idiot beating Democratic says nothing about the candidates, it says something about the voters, many of whom are now experiencing buyer’s remorse if the polls are at all accurate.</p>

<p>Adlais Stevenson was once told he’d get the vote of every thinking person. He replied, sadly, “That’s not enough, I need a majority.”</p>

<p>I said it elsewhere, but Bush’s choice of Miers is an example of Bush prizing loyalty and personal comfort over any sense of excellence. Roberts, whatever else I may think of him, is brilliant. I find it ironic that the wingnuts are now saying what Dems have said all along: they need to know about the nominees views before voting to confirm.</p>

<p>LOL! Let the jackals devour each other.</p>
