Dear George Bush, RE: Harriet Miers

Dear George,

I wanted to have a word with you about your pick to replace Sandra Day O’Connor. I like that you went for a woman – or as you like to call her, “my lady friend.” But hasn’t appointing your unqualified friends and supporters gotten you into enough trouble lately? I mean, obviously a member of the Supreme Court is unlikely to drown a city, but you never know.

I remember enough American History to know that judicial experience isn’t necessary, or at least hasn’t always been, but now that we have a couple hundred years worth of precedent, it might be nice to have somebody who knows some of it. And at the same time, it might be good to get somebody who isn’t a complete suck-up.

Oh, and I know you like to pick people that have never uttered anything that could be construed as an opinion in public, but could you at least give us an idea of what she’s been working on for you? Is it the “torture is okey-dokey” thing or the “it wasn’t Karl Rove, no really” thing?

I don’t expect you to take my advice, George. In fact, I’m just writing this so that later, when things continue going to Hell in a hand-basket, I can say I told you so. Which reminds me: Hey Steve Zack, did they find those weapons of mass destruction yet? Cause I’m ready for that apology now.

Sincerely,

Jemal
