Y'know what? Never mind.
Fascinating as this whole Harriet Miers thing has been, it wasn't until this morning that I considered what Christopher has been saying all along. From the moment the first objections about Bush's nomination of her to be a Supreme Court Justice (which is to say since, like, the first minute), C has been claiming that she is just a red herring. Cannon fodder. She's supposed to go down in flames with objections from the extreme right wingers, so that Bush's next and really conservative appointment will please all the Right people. And no, that capitalization is no typo.
I still don't buy it entirely, but until Karl Rove's freshly staked body has it's head cut off and stuffed with garlic and is sprinkled with holy water and buried in consecrated ground in a concrete vault 3 miles below the earth's surface, I can believe almost any theory coming out of this administration.
In a related story, Madelrine Albright's guest appearance on Tuesday's Gilmore Girls got me thinking: who is going to play Harriet Miers in the eventual Lifetime/PAX Network produced movie version of her inevitable tell-all memoir? I bet it won't be Diane Baker... whom I bet you don't remember from Silence of the Lambs, but do from all those annoying Academy of Art ads.
