| The Sup Bowl: Prissy Owens edition |
Tim Chapman at Townhall.com says he has insider scoop that Priscilla Owen has taken her name out of the Supreme Court hat (courtesy Tim's pal Mary, blogging for Wizbang). Hm. Seems a shame to deprive the court of that marvelous hair-do...
So who will it be? The strong bets (to put it in Bill Bennett terms) are on either a woman or a Hispanic (the GOP, after all, is the party of merit rather than affirmative action...). So who to pick? I'd bet against crazy-ass Janice Rogers Brown: the backlash of putting the Thomasina to Clarence's Thomas on the court from Black people would drown out any good will he thinks he could get from T.D. Jakes' congregation. I also would count out Al Gonzalez -- George Bush is going to need friends over the next couple of years, and he can't afford to piss off the right any more than he already has. I had a novel thought today: if Bush really wanted to throw the Democrats off, and shed the Rockefellar Republican image he's been cultivating of late, he could pick someone who would be 1) difficult for left and right alike to oppose and 2) outside the box in a big way: he could pick his father...
That said, he's probably going to pick someone like this ... oh my God, another bad haircut...
