"especially after I have spent two weeks seeing Harriet Miers called everything from a pig to a lesbian."

Oh puhleeze....Comments like the above were so few and far between, I never saw them. Some did question the fact she is single and stated disappointment about her age, when her candidacy was first announced, but soon after such criticisms were rare. Most people argued against her nomination reasonably and fairly and I am tired of their arguments being so grossly mischaracteized.

Adams, stop defending the sliming of Miers. You've been at it, all day.

Any rational human being who read this forum over the last two weeks saw the posts against her.

It's over now, but don't try to do damage control. It demeans you and makes you look like a fool.

Let's just go on.

I never saw them, either ... even though I have been unjustly accused of making them.

I do believe that, if Miers had continued in her quest, and been confirmed, our side would have been far more gracious than the pro-Miers bunch have been toward us.

Ultimately, Miers was sunk by her own words, her own deeds and her own unsuitability for a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS.

With a few notable exceptions, the pro-Miers bunch has been pretty abusive.
