Rice: Criticism of Miers Is Unfounded - Yahoo! News

"She's got a very probing mind and a probing intellect," Rice said on "Fox News Sunday."
"She is the kind of person who is — if there have been four arguments given, Harriet's going to look for the fifth," said Rice, who was interviewed from London at the end of a diplomatic trip.

Oh sweet christ on a crutch just what we need. Um, Condi? That's called not being able to make up your mind, not a probing intellect. A Supreme Court Justice doesn't flit about like Dianne Feinstein looking at shoes in Macy's window. And cease and desist all of this she's soooooo smart bullswaddle, because if she WAS so smart she'd have given the President the advice of thanks, but no thanks. How can you call anyone even moderately bright who has led the right into such a tizzy, and hasn't the brains to bow out gracefully?

And brains are one thing, Madam Secretary, but inclination and experience, and even good old fashioned "knack" are quite something else. And where did this idea that lawyers had half a brain come from anyway? If one has the educational opportunities one goes into the sciences if one is anywhere NEAR as bright as Harriet is rumored to be.

Doesn't anyone even REMEMBER the old saw that those who can't do math go to law school? Doesn't anyone remember that the first folks to go during your run of the mill revolution are the lawyers? The ambulance chasers? The folks who LOVE feeding off of misery? The best liars? Is it any wonder that 99% of ALL politicians are lawyers?

Facts: She isn't very bright at all or she wouldn't have let W plunge her into this mess to begin with. George was confused, Rove was preoccupied, and Laura whispering "Harriet, Harriet, Harriet into the President's pillow every night was simply too much for the man to bear. And what is she going to do when Biden and Schumer and Dickem Then Dunkem* gather all of the notes from their staffs regarding constitutional law and pummel her with questions she's never heard before? Ask them to trust her, she's aquick learner?

And just for comic relief, here's whacky old Di-Fi throwing her two cents into the equation:

"Sen. Dianne Feinstein said she remained open to voting to confirm Miers, citing in part the conservative criticism.
"The way she's being beaten up by the far right is very sexist. People should hold their fire and give people an opportunity to come before a hearing," Feinstein, D-Calif., said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Typical Feinstein prattle; open to voting, sexist, the usual response from someone with less than half a brain, who by the way, majored in history of all things, and was the first woman this-that-and-the-other-thing herself.

*Senator Edward Kennedy who drove his car off a bridge while receiving oral sex from a secretary, swam safely to shore without even once checking to see if his fellatrix was alive or dead, and spent the remainder of the evening concocting plausible excuses before calling the police.
