old Satire Shmatire

Apparently nominations to the Supreme Court now must pass the "religion litmus test". Harriet Miers views on religion are becoming a key factor in her nomination. That and the "trust me" Bush factor.



Obviously the Republicans, or maybe the Democrats since it's the right wing-nuts that are the most incensed, need to start a "Who would Jesus Nominate" campaign.

Remember Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live, playing that spinster Emily Litella...she usually ended her shtick with "nevermind". We've just been treated to NY City's finest edition of the same shtick as officials now say nevermind the "source" that claimed the subway system was about to be attacked was lying. I'm sure glad I don't have to make those judgments, but there's only so many times you can Cry Wolf.

All this activity is also lots cheaper for Bloomberg then running actual campaign commercials.
