#1 Miers is an unknown quantity. That is why elements of the left and right are supporting her because each believes she will help their cause.

And that is why we will continue to see these attacks from both sides against conservatives, who oppose the nomination mainly because Meirs is an unknown quantity.

Every commenter I have seen who opposed her would instead welcome a Priscila Owens or Janice Rogers Brown nomination and for obvious reasons. The "ego bruised" because the nominee is a woman is a damn lie.

So for give me if I remove the sexist tag from me and place it back on you.

F*cking wanker.

#2 (1) Miers is NOT an unknown quantity to Frum - they worked in the White House together.

(2) I didn't use the sexist label for you or anyone opposed to Miers - touchy touchy!!!

#3 To clarify, I don't think the fact that Miers is a WOMAN is what bruised Frum's ego- although it might have contributed. It's the fact that despite his high profile at the WH - he was the 'axis of evil' coiner for the SOTU speech - this quiet spoken Texan got a whole lot more done and had more influence over time.

That she did so because she had risen as a woman when being a woman in her profession was hard is just another data point about her - but to this woman of about the same age, it's a telling one.

I've broken enough ceilings of my own to know what that takes.

#4 And, just to drive the point home, Miers is still in the WH and Frum is not. In fact his tenure there was rather short IIRC.

#5 Alright, then I apologize. But if you oppose the Meirs nomination, get ready to place yourself in a crossfire.

The left is already getting their favorite canard, the sexist, sexism charge, ready for the hearings.
