Yes, Miers is the bottom of the barrel. -sarc We haven't even heard her speak and you call her the "bottom of the barrel"?
Yes, we haven't heard her speak yet -- and she's 60 yeras old. Which is a very significant piece of evidence.

Why should we have to settle for a "quick study" when we could have had a life time of preparation?
