One Possible Scenario

One twisted tale of how Harriet Miers's confirmation hearings will unfold.

Calvin Trillin

October 20, 2005

The gang of right-wing-dogma verifiers Continues in its dissing of Ms. Miers, And hints her views don’t differ much from Breyer’s. The intellectual right says George Bush hires Just hacks who act as ego fortifiers. Then Bush, attacking all of his decriers, Calls whingeing neocons, in Yiddish, shreiers, And then calls Will and Brooks and Kristol liars. So they call him a dope–no qualifiers. O’Connor reconsiders, unretires.
