So which Whitey Whiteguy are they speculating is next?

My favorite part

[(Anonymous)]

is the refusal to provide information on communication between her and the white house. Can it be that they were stupid enough to actually commit something incriminating to paper? Remember that she refused to answer that question on her questionnaire, also.

I am simply content that, for once, the need for intelligence and clear thinking in a public official seems to have prevailed. A small blow has been struck against mediocrity.

As much as I dislike Justice Scalia's political views, I respect his intelligence and his writing ability. Smart people can be persuaded by other smart people. If Bush feels that he must pick a Justice who shares his viewpoints, at least do the country the service of picking one with a top-rate legal mind.

This is definately good news... we were lamblasting her pretty good when we first heard of the nomination.
