I’m pretty sure everytime I’ve gotten some sleep this week, I’ve woken up to find this Miers situation to be worse than when I last left it. I’m not looking to pile-on here, but Ed Gillespie, who I like a lot suggested, according to the Washington Post that the criticism of the Miers choice “has a whiff of sexism and a whiff of elitism.” We’ve already been through the elitism. Sexism, too? Would Kathryn’s or Kate’s skeptism be sexism? (Gillespie and I both went to Catholic U, by the way, which I don’t think most elites would consider, well, elite.) How about the White House just admitting they haven’t made a case to even their friends that this is, in fact, “the best person [the president] could find”? I find the White House using the trailblazing stuff as kind of patronizingly sexist, if you want to play that game. But this is the Supreme Court and a big deal. Can we be serious?
