i didn’t know until this morning that EVERYBODY HATES HARRIET MIERS. i never, ever read ann coulter’s column, but today she wrote that bush might as well pick his chauffer to be head of NASA, since he picks miers for the supreme court. this made me laugh.
the very conservative conservatives hate her, but there was a good editorial in the paper this morning about how nobody should like her, because she’s just this random person who happened to be bush’s own lawyer who he decided to nominate, and she doesn’t know much about supreme court things, which are VERY IMPORTANT.
this is how i imagine bush’s thinking might have been – “hmm, i need to pick somebody for the supreme court AGAIN, a lawyer would be a great idea, and laura’s been nagging me about getting woman…do i know any woman lawyers? hey, MY lawyer is a woman! well, there ya go, that’s simple, DAMN, i’m good at making fast decisions!”
right now i’m just glad i’m not harriet miers, because i’d hate it if everybody across the board thought i was horrible. that would be awfully depressing, i think. i mean, sometimes i have enough trouble trying to think of a reasn to get out of bed in the morning, but if i knew that everybody thought i was bad, if i knew that i was going to be raked over the coals and scrutinized to death, well, i don’t think i’d even get out of bed at all.
hopefully she’s got some rose-colored glasses handy.
ok then, goodnight,
grace
p.s. christine just called me from a very very loud bar, announcing, i think but i’m not sure because it was very very loud, that she’s found a friend who wants to go with us to the fair isle, where you can rent a house for two hundred bucks a year. i’m thinking this fair isle thing is a very good idea, in light of the flu pandemic, because i bet it wouldn’t hit there, because it’s too bitterly cold and INCREDIBLY WINDY. i can’t say i’d want to rent this house with christine AND this woman who i don’t even know at all, because it seems you’d have to have a very good idea that you’d get along with a person before moving to a very remote location with them. christine was very enthusiastic about the whole thing (i think), but then again, she can get these crazy ideas sometimes, especially when she’s had a couple of drinks. hopefully not more than a couple, because she has to drive home.
NOW i go to sleep. all night long.
ok then,
grace smith, happy to not be harriet miers (even though she makes SO MUCH MORE MONEY THAN ME!!!).
