Even The Conservative National Review Thinks Bush Crony Miers is An Awful Pick for Supreme Court
A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
News from NRO's web site, September 29, 2005:
ANOTHER REASON FOR BUSH NOT TO PICK... [John Podhoretz]
...Gonzales or Miers is this: One of the Democratic talking points that is
getting some traction is the Crony Talking Point -- the idea that this presidency
is made up of friends and friends of friends who all do business together
and whose qualifications matter less than their connections to GWB. Since
nobody on earth aside from Bush would actually consider Gonzales or Miers
a suitable Supreme Court nominee, the appointment of either would smack precisely
of the cronyism with which he is (in my view) being unfairly tarred. Bush
would be giving his critics some very serious ammunition to use against him
at a time when he can't afford to do such a thing.
