The White House has sent out (painfully lame) “talking points” this morning on Harriet Miers “qualifications.” Let’s just say it doesn’t do much to help the case for her. In their “qualified by intellect” section the first sentence reads: “Harriet Miers was a pioneer in the Texas Legal Community, becoming the first woman to join her prestigious firm, the first woman to run a firm of significant size in Texas, the first woman to head the Dallas Bar Association and the first to be elected to head the State Bar Association of Texas.”

Guys, you forgot to mention she’s a woman.

And do you really expect people to be convinced she’s a SCOTUS fit because: “Throughout her career in local, state and Federal governments, Harriet Miers has held herself to the highest ethical standards”?
