Action Jacktion posted:that was an obvious con: nominate someone who's obviously unqualified, wait a while for congress and the media to wear themselves out complaining about it, then "compromise" by withdrawing the first nomination and nominating the person they wanted all along. this person seems so much better by comparison that there isn't much controversy even if there should be, and anyway everyone's tired of it by then and the media are afraid their ratings will go down if they keep at it. Bush ends up looking good because people say he admits his mistakes and is willing to compromise. I don't think that is what was going on considering he had already nominated Roberts for the job but Rain Quest died so he bumped roberts up to chief justice and then pulled miers out of his rear end and she hosed up embarrassingly on widely understood matters of constitutional law in questionnaires and made everyone involved feel shame

Over Easy posted:Bush nominated and then withdrew Harriet Miers for the supreme court After an engagement at which Mr Bush signed an autograph for a girl, Ms Miers gushed: "I was struck by the tremendous impact you have on the children whose lives you touch." She said he was "cool". "I appreciate your friendship and candour," Mr Bush wrote back.

I just remembered when forum member Martin Random somehow managed to convince the internet he had the inside scoop on the Bush White House and posted a bunch of insane insider stories. A true precursor to the rogue twitter accounts of today. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2006/4/11/201507/- Some choice quotes: Dick Cheney has chronic gum problems and his breath smells like poo poo as a result. He is also a CLOSE TALKER. He keeps a small bottle of diluted hydrogen peroxide which he rinses with every hour on the hour, and he swallows it instead of spitting. He also picks his nose vigorously (violently) and hums loudly and tunelessly to himself while taking shits. Donald Rumsfeld needs to wear iced underwear because of some medical condition, and he has his secret service detail hold his spares. He was recently getting uncontrollable long-term erections and had to change up his medical treatments. The underwear and the erections is why he uses a standing desk, not because he is some super-man. He also wears nylon stockings, not because he's gay, but to control some vascular problem with his legs which causes him intense pain. Tom Ridge brushes his teeth like 3 times per day religiously, but he can't stand looking at someone brushing their teeth. He contorts as in agony, as if he is actually experiencing pain. He can't watch himself brush his teeth, and even describing the process of brushing teeth drives him up a wall. If you joke around near Rumsfeld, he will stare at you intensely as if you just killed his mother for about 10 seconds, which will be unnerving because you think you've offended him, then he will begin to laugh a little bit, a bit more, until he is in hysterics. He has a chest condition called Pleurisy that causes this; breathing deeply is painful to him as is laughing with gusto, so he tries very hard to control himself before losing it. It really unnerves people who are trying to be sociable. This is the reason for his creepy shallow laugh in public.

Back in 2011 a journalist prank called (then Wisconsin governor) Scott walker's office during the protests over the anti-union legislation pretending to be one of the Koch brothers, immediately got forwarded through to walker himself, and suggested using agent provacateurs to bust up the protests, which walker said they were already talking about doing.

Right, I forgot Wisconsin's failure to hold any timely legislative special elections this year wasn't because the office of the governor had been vacant the whole time.
