Exactly. I’m picturing Lumberg from Office Space.
“Jer… What’s happening… Remember when I told you that I’d get a Judge you, Billy, and Jimmy would like? Ummm… Yeah… See, it’s like this. >slurp< I’m gonna have to nominate a moderate. M’kay? Yeah, thanks.”
“Oh, and Jeb’s gonna need your support in two years, so if you don’t mind rounding up some supporters for him. That’d be great.”
This is off-topic, but it just occurred to me: if Scalia ever retires, will Clarence Thomas do the same, just out of habit?
Don’t depress me so early in the election cycle.
I still have enough faith in the American people to believe that, if only for appearances’ sake, they wouldn’t elect another Bush as president.
Further off-topic, but my absolute favorite Clarence Thomas moment was in his People magazine spread when he was coming under fire during the Anita Hill story. One of the photos was of him and his wife lying on the sofa in their home reading a great big Bible.
Staged much? Just a tad maybe. (Later Glen Campbell and his family went him a few better by being in People with the whole family on a canopied bed while paterfamilas Glenn read the Good Book to them. (A bit more recently he was arrested for drunk driving. hit’n’run, and assault on an officer.)
It might depend on whether he’s running against another Clinton.
I wish I had that faith.
I am with you brother. The way things are I see Karl Rove running on the Rep Ticket with Satan as Vice-president…and winning. Shit I don’t rule out the possibility that the republicans will pass an amendment (and getting it ratified by 2/3 of the states in time for the next election) allowing Bush to be appointed President again. As a country we get the leaders we deserve.
Dude, the President is consulting on one of the most important, technically intricate, and long lasting decisions he will make with the guy who said this two days after 9/11:

Now, I have no problem with lunatics per se. Some of my best friends are lunatics. If you want to be a lunatic in your own home behind closed doors, that’s fine. However, I don’t approve of them shoving their lunatic agenda down our throats, and I think a lunatic advising the President of the United States is an abomination and an affront to God.
And don’t even get me started on lunatics being allowed to marry.
Wow, he said all that on Sept 13? Busy guy.
Well, no, just the first one. My editor’s out sick.
Actually, if we have to have a Bush in the White House, can we get the first one back? He at least seemed to have a conscience (see Rove, Firing of).
Well in fairness, Falwell apologized.
Sort of.
Several days later.
After saying it was taken out of context.
The entire speech.
And after he’d caught hell even from Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives.
So… uh… I believe he was… sorry…
OK, of course I don’t. (Though I do have more respect for Falwell than I do for Robertson, who said at the time “Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government”, then actually claimed after the fallout and while holding a straightface that he didn’t know what Falwell was talking about.)
Yeah, but the reason Bush Sr. fired him was completely different. Rove had leaked something to Robert Novak…
Well, it’s been 25 years, it’s not like he’s leaked anything to Novak since then.
Okay, there was that time in 1992, but just because he’s twice leaked stuff while working for a Bush that was later reported by Robert Novak, that’s no reason to think he’s guilty this time. It’s not like there’s anybody else who heard h…
Alright look, he said “Joe Wilson’s wife”- do you have any idea how many Joe Wilsons there are? And how many wives they have?
Oh, hang him.
[The Joker]What this country needs is an enema![/Joker]
Just what we need. That fat greasy bigoted inbred son of a skanky syphilitic crackhead whore, who was fucking happy when 9/11 happened is being consulted for SC nominees. Well, if that’s true, then I guess it’s time for the liberals, Democrats, moderates, and other right thinking people to have a Nuclear Option of their own. Fuck Falwell, fuck Bush, fuck anyone who looks like them.
Sorry for the lame rant, but it’s really not my talent.
I smelled the bullshit too, but decided to wait and see. I was right after all it seems.
Maybe you’d see a pentagram. Arrrooooooooooooo!
Bush will just pick some party hack who helped him win the election, who is far to the right, deep into Christianity, is against abortion, and is young enough to sit on the US SC for a few decades.
No, it looks like this.
Maybe Bush’s people misunderstood him and he was calling Rove Toht Blossom.
No way this would ever happen. I don’t think a candidate is allowed to be his own running mate.
