Harriet Miers' primary qualification

Being a mob "fixer" sure can have it's bennies, as in being nominated to the supreme court. Miers has been a Bush family flunky for years, most recently as his personal attorney after Torture Boy (Gonzales) was promoted to attorney general. Nobody should kid themselves about the reason's why this woman was selected - she's the pantload's Get Out Of Jail Free card when and if the indictments are handed down for, oh, any number of villainous acts. Just the latest in a long list of incopetent flunkies the shitbag likes to place in important positions, a la the horse fluffer Brown at FEMA.

But this nomination seems to have hit a raw nerve with the long term fascist operatives. Still stunned by the Roberts elevation to chief justice, bypassing some notable sitting sycophants, the hard working brownshirts finally sense that little boots doesn't give a rat's ass about those that elevated his sorry self to power. When Ann Coulter manages to mutter bush cronyism, you know he's in trouble.
