on harriet miers

so, conservatives hate her, the rnc is touting her as the second sandra day o'connor, and she appears to have taken a firm stance in support of the rights of homosexuals (in the past, at least; who knows what she'll say about it tomorrow). i should be happy about all of these things, and mostly i am. but the conservatives who are opposed to her feel the way they do in response to not only her evil moderate tendencies, but also to her lack of experience and, seemingly, professional motivation. and even if i did have substantial evidence that there was more behind this nomination than her eerie rock-star-crush adulation of gw, do any of us really want someone who uses this many exclamation points making decisions that will affect any part of our lives?

when i find out who's actually behind that pink monster, i'm going to buy him or her the totally bestest pony ever.
