Miers gets a do-over

The nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court is a farce.

Miers is being asked to resubmit a questionnaire to members of the senate because the first one was so poorly done.

Barely concealing their irritation during a 35-minute news conference at the Capitol, Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and ranking Democrat Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.) called the lobbying on Miers's behalf "chaotic," and said the answers she provided Monday to a lengthy questionnaire were inadequate. "The comments I have heard range from incomplete to insulting," Leahy said.

What is this, a game?

What on earth could Bush be thinking?
