As I posted a quote from Republican David Frum earlier today and his disapproval of Bush's SCOTUS pick, Harriet Miers. However, it was originally a lot worse on criticizing Bush's nod, though Dave must have gotten an angry phone call from somebody so he deleted, and then reposted a toned down rant. David Frum of course fallowed rule #3 in being a good Republican, do what you are told and be follower, free thinking is not allowed. Thanks to the Al Franken Show for the original Frum post:
She rose to her present position by her absolute devotion to George Bush. I mentioned last week that she told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met. To flatter on such a scale a person must either be an unscrupulous dissembler, which Miers most certainly is not, or a natural follower. And natural followers do not belong on the Supreme Court of the United States.
The "good Republican" updated version:
Harriet Miers is a taut, nervous, anxious personality. It is impossible to me to imagine that she can endure the anger and abuse - or resist the blandishments - that transformed, say, Anthony Kennedy into the judge he is today.
Nor is it safe for the president's conservative supporters to defer to the president's judgment and say, "Well, he must know best." The record shows I fear that the president's judgment has always been at its worst on personnel matters.
Who is the "natural follower" now Dave?
