Apparently some of the bright lights of the right have decided that the best way to establish the deficiencies of Obama's choice for the Supreme Court is to compare her to W's choice of Harriet Miers for the same position. I think they are right.
My daughter has been learning about analogies in school. Lets play:
Sonia Sotomayor is to Harriet Miers as:
Barack Obama : George W. Bush
Princeton summa cum laude : SMU (no honors)
Yale law review : SMU law school(no honors)
Prosecutor for Morgenthau : no criminal law experience
6 years as Federal District Court Judge : No judicial Experience
10 years on 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals : No judicial Experience
adjunct professor NYU School of Law : advisory board SMU law school
Obama - "Blown away" : Bush - blown kisses
Democrat : Republican
works for me
from comments:
Confirmed : Rejected (Ezekial)
Hillary Clinton : Sarah Palin (scotths)
best choice : best friend (accumbens)
Thurgood Marshall : Clarence Thomas (feeny)
James Lee Witt : 'Heckuva Job' Brownie (vawolf)
Rachel Maddow : Mika Brzezinski (denig)
Daily Kos : Red State (checkmate)
see how easy this is!
Update: Wow! I stop for a little dinner and you folks get seriously carried away. Should have known if I tapped the dKos reservoir of snark I would drown.
PS if anyone is close to vawolf an intervention may be needed.
