I'm sorry, but are we ABSOLUTELY INSANE?!?!

The Senate committee who is reviewing Harriet Miers' responses to questions regarding a whole number of things (her legal record, opinions on issues that she is bound to make decisions about on the bench and even the fact that she was temporariliy thrown out of the DC Bar association for FORGETTING to pay her dues), returned her answers to her today, saying that they were insufficient and she must re-write and re-submit them.

That's right, the woman who could potentially be the next Supreme Court Judge of our country, and make important rulings about abortion, separation of church and state, etc, had to "re-do" her "application" because it was "offensively" bad.

Who are we kidding?

If my brother sends an application to a college that's that bad, they'll reject him straight out, no if, ands or buts. But here we have "big shot" lawyer Harriet Miers (who has basically become the brunt of every NY Times op-ed joke this week) who just got a "second chance" to apply to be a Supreme Court Justice. Even money-hounding NYU wouldn't be that nice.

Well, here's a possible explanation: Rumor has it that Miers is not a good writer...so, benefit of the doubt, maybe she did work really hard answering those questions...Maybe we shouldn't have her re-submit them until enrolling her in an english course. Just a thought...
