See, that's what I look for in a supreme court justice

Monday, January 09 2006 - blog

From CNN:

    "Sam (Alito) has got the intellect necessary to bring a lot of class to that court," the president said.

What exactly is Bush trying to imply here? That the current Supreme Court lacks class? Or is just populated with idiots?

Or maybe Bush was just trying to reassure us that Alito is "a good person" (which, it seems, is the highest compliment Bush can give to someone) and he just bungled the wording.

Sigh.

I think Bush likes to believe that everyone is an idiot -- that way he doesn't feel so out of place.

Mouse -- I'm pretty sure the CNN story was actually from the AP wire, meaning that FoxNews (the differently biased network that folks who lean right tend to prefer) carried it as well...
