One defense of the Miers nomination
OK, we all know that Laura Bush was full of Texas-sized Sh— when she said that the criticism of Miers “possibly” was sexist in nature. I know it; you know it; Rich Lowry knows it.
Having said that, I will defend Miers, after ceaselessly picking on her, from one particular area of critcism, AND YET manage to be sexist at the same time. How can I do that, you may ask? Simple, because what I’m about to say is also the God’s honest truth:
I wasn’t sure about my hypothesis until I googled the words “fashion” and “Miers” and the first two hits were by this well-known DC woman and this not-so well-known Oakland, Calif., woman. I was concerned when I realized that the third entry that dealt with her choice of dress was written by a man – that is, until I discovered he had a boyfriend, and suddenly the world made sense once again.
Actually, that last comment makes this post not only sexist but homophobic (And I suppose I should correct the theory to read "catty women and cattier homosexuals"). I guess I need to update the press release and book jacket accordingly.
Oh, and advise my lawyer.
Today’s lesson: I think a better Ultimate Fighting Championship would be two women fighting over the same hip-hugging pants at Barney’s.

Harriet Miers may not be God’s gift to fashion, but who the f--- cares? Actually, I know who the f--- cares: Catty women.

I think any alleged "homophobe" who writes about hip-hugging pants and Barney's [sic] doth protest too much.
Yes, J-Flow. I immediately thought the same thing. My GAYDAR registers a 9.9 out of 10.
