jaded ranting

I was listening to NPR's great show Roundtable with Ed Gordon, and one of the guests brought up an interesting theory about Bush's nomination of Miers to the Supreme Court. He said that maybe this nomination was a way of "sticking it to the people who convinced him to invade Iraq." What does this statement imply? That the plan to go over there and fuck shit up wasn't George's? Interesting.

Although this isn't the first time I've heard of this theory, it's nice to think that there is some tension in the White House. The guest brought up the point that Cheney didn't even know who was going to be nominated until he was informed by his press secretary - about the same time the rest of America found out.

Apparently George made this decision all by himself. Well I'm sure not completely by himself, but at least without the help of some of those evil folks he hangs out with. I guess we'll never really know who made decisions in your White House, but if this is accurate, I have to say hat's off to you, Independent George. Way to stick it to the man. But wait, I thought you were the man? I hope Cheney doesn't use one of his secret murders on you.

p.s. - I still hate you George.
