Althouse: "What else is there to say, in any case, about a middling bureaucrat and yes-woman than that she attends some mediocre place of worship?"

Who hasn't been waiting for a nicely pissy Christopher Hitchens rant about Harriet Miers?

Jinnmabe said...: I normally like Hitchens but that was just stupid. He completely undermined his own valid point with his standard anti-religious talking points. Yeah, yeah, you think we're all insane for believing in God, I got it, Chris. That's the way to convince people, tell them they're stupid.

Plenty of religious people think it's dumb that religion is offered as one of Miers's best features (some would say her only feature). But doesn't Hitch's mention of Harry Reid confound his point? I'm a Mormon, and I'm not reassured at all by Dobson's choice or Bush's religious assurances.; 10/14/05, 5:27 PM

"She may be a nut who belonged to a subversive organization, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg graduated first in her class from Columbia Law School — and that was before Harriet Miers was applying to law school."
Let's face it - there just aren't that many people who graduated first from Ivy League Law schools. Less than 10 a year.; 10/14/05, 10:44 PM
