Benanke vs. Meirs, or, Surely There's A Strategy to The Stupid Meirs Nomination

You just have to wonder -- what exactly were Bush and his advisors thinking when they chose to appoint his mind-blowingly underqualified and obviously over-cronyized friend Meirs to the Supreme Court? I mean, they were already down to their last political capital points (it was my roommate and teammate Marlow White who coined the phrase "cool points" when I once tripped on the side walk and fell, tearing my jeans --- "Cody, you just lost all your cool points." Ah, digression). And they spent them and went in debt for this stupid appointment. I'm not going very far out on a limb in saying that there's no way in hell this Meirs person gets approved. And rightly so. What a joke.

Meanwhile, Bernanke will work. You do realize that there are people out there similarly qualified for the Supreme Court the way he is for the Fed.

You guys know I have zero tolerance for the entrenched socialist parties we call the Democrats and Republicans --- but I do sometimes respect the politically motivated strategies of those sold out parties for accomplishing what the evildoers who run them set out to do. I can't for the life of me figure out what Bush and his other cronies were trying to accomplish with this Meirs debacle. Surely they knew what a poor choice she was and how it would be perceived. Any theories on why they chose to nominate her? And don't tell me that they actually thought she was the right person for the job. She's not.
