Cheney and Gonzales tried to Block Miers' nomination: John Fund

[CatWoman]

A last minute effort was made to block the choice of Ms. Miers, including the offices of Vice President Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. It fell on deaf ears. First Lady Laura Bush, who went to Southern Methodist University at the same time as Ms. Miers, weighed in. On Sunday night, the president dined with Ms. Miers and the first lady to celebrate the nomination of what one presidential aide inartfully praised to me as that of "a female trailblazer who will walk in the footsteps of President Bush."

1. If you're walking in someone else's footsteps, how can you also

be blazing a trail? Unless the trail you're blazing is the complete selling out of the SCOTUS.

[reality based]

2. Is Cheney trying to resist being hung out to dry for Plamegate?

This male ann coulter wannabe is not to be trusted.

5. No Truer Words...

""a female trailblazer who will walk in the footsteps of President Bush."..."

7. What is this? Some kind of last ditch effort to show a "kinder, gentler"

side to Cheney?

This reminds me of the PR good-cop, bad cop routine/spin that Lynne Cheney is "pro-choice" and her hubby Dick is "pro-life". As if either one of them give a rat's hoohaw about womens' rights?

I'm sure they are soooo concerned about the womens' right to choose. It's bound to keep them up at night.
