WV: Hello?
NPR: Good Morning. This is Susan Suchandsuch from National Public Radio, and we were looking for some to comment on the Miers nomination. Do you have a second?
WV: Gosh. I don’t know. This is really a bad time.
NPR: Oh. I’m sorry. I don’t want to keep you from class or anything.
WV: Oh it’s nothing like that. It’s just that at the moment I’m busy sticking hot needles into my eyes.
NPR: Really?
WV: Yeah. It hurts a lot. Like freshly-zippered nuts.
NPR: I can imagine. Say, does this have anything to do with the nomination?
WV: Well, if by nomination you mean the naming of a woefully underqualified candidate who will never be confirmed but will achieve the White House goal of making Senate Democrats look like total cockknockers on national TV, eventually making me beg for the seasoned, experienced Alberto Gonzales to just put an end to it all, then, yeah. That and my Texas-OU ticket problem.
NPR: She’s that underqualified? Is having been a judge really that important?
WV: Not at all. But SMU? Are you kidding me?
NPR: You have a point.
WV: Also, you show me a Locke Liddell lawyer with a sense of humor, and I’ll show you a unicorn that can square a circle.
NPR: That seems a little unfair.
WV: Maybe. But this lady is SIXTY. You know Bush isn’t serious. She’s taking one for the team.
NPR: Can I quote you on that?
WV: Can I meet Terry Gross?
NPR: Uh, no.
WV: How about the All Things Considered guy?
NPR: Definitely not.
WV: Well, then, no.
NPR: But the underqualified/SMU/Unicorn stuff?
WV: Quote away.
NPR: Thanks.
freshly zippered nuts? Fuck me is that funny. Everyone in the Lexis/Westlaw computer lab is looking at me crying in front of my computer.

SMU with as many USSC justices as UT? Dean Powers'l be so pissed that he forgets to ogle the 1L chicks for at least 24 hours. I think that this may be part of the new "every ABA accredited school has to get a turn" program for Supreme Court vacancies.

Heh...when I heard about the nomination on NPR this morning, the first thing that came to mind was "SMU? Are they fucking kidding?!"

I was okay until I saw her pic on CNN. She looks like she has had serious work done....after a major burn injury. It's like courtney cox and freddy kruger had a kid.

Who DIDN'T think SMU?? WTF???
I'd even prefer a UT grad. Is there an age limit for SC justices? Because I think BWV should have been nominated. He would have livened those opinions right up.

I won't lie. I was pissed when I heard SMU. I went through a range of emotions after that including: happiness that it wasn't Harvard or Yale again. Glad a Stanford grad didn't creep back into the court, we had enough of them for the last 25 years (CJR was cool, O'C was not). Pissed I wasn't nominated. I have everything Bush was looking for: no judicial record, youth, unabashed conservatism and theological zeal.

Someone needs to do a poll...
Who will get more shit due to this nomination, SMU or Locke Liddell?
