OUT OF CONTROL
Out of Their Leagues, But in Whose?

What is obviously most incredibly unbelievable about the latest Bush administration scandal -- that surrounding the proposed Saturday Night Massacre of every single U.S. attorney around the country -- is that the two "minds" behind the effort, the utterly incompetent, even back in Austin, Alberto Gonzales, and the quintessential Avon Lady, Harriet Miers, were considered by this very White House to be Supreme Court material.

Unbelievable. And yet, well, "par for the course," trite as that sounds, are the first words that come to mind.

I can hear the words about Gonzales already: "resigned in disgrace." Then again, I used that same phase here a few times in reference to former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and, surprisingly, it never caught on, despite the plain merits of the matter.
