Good grief! No doubt she was behind the Harriet Myers fiasco.

FLASHBACK:

http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/005597.php

Joining her husband in defense of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, Laura Bush today called her a “role model for young women around the country” and suggested that sexism was a “possible” reason for the heavy criticism of the nomination.

“I know Harriet well,” the first lady said. “I know how accomplished she is. I know how many times she’s broken the glass ceiling. . . . She’s very deliberate and thoughtful and will bring dignity to wherever she goes, certainly the Supreme Court.” ...

Asked by host Matt Lauer if sexism might be playing a role in the Miers controversy, she said, “It’s possible. I think that’s possible. . . . I think people are not looking at her accomplishments.”

Of course she was behind Harriet Myers.

Remember before HM was announced as a nominee, her public statement about wanting a woman on the court? Then GWB had to feign surprise that his wife was so outspoken.

Why don’t these idiots fade into obscurity? Outside of the WOT, they have damaged my country quite enough, thanks.

Damn near destroyed the Republican party, if they haven’t already.
