Is Palin the New Harriet Miers?
It’s always been my more-than-sneaking suspicion that the entire Harriet Miers fiasco was deliberate. Bush wanted to nominate a conservative white man, but he was replacing a woman and would get flack for not nominating a woman to the position. So what to do? Take a page of the sleazy PavRovian playbook and nominate a woman who is in no way qualified for the position. That way, when everyone howls that’s she’s an inappropriate pick, Bushie can nominate a conservative white guy (Alito) like he wanted all along and then have the audacity to claim that it’s OUR fault. What? He WANTED to nominate a woman! But WE wouldn’t accept her! Sheesh, can’t we ever be satisfied?
This Palin fiasco is shaping up to be the exact same thing. If she withdraws or is withdrawn from the ticket, McSame can glibly replace her with some old white croney of his, smug with the claim that he WANTED to have a woman on his ticket, but we wouldn’t accept her! The whole nation isn’t ready for a woman VP! Sounds so familiar.
The key being, of course, that he’d get no opposition to a qualified female, which he well knows.
Scumbags.
Oh Jesus Christ Almighty
Do I feel all right?
No, not slightly
