Me on Rock on Miers

So Harriet Miers has withdrawn. And the phrase that comes to mind is "Where's my O.J. prize?" What the fuck you say? It's a line from one of Chris Rock's Bring the Pain referring to his reaction to the O.J. verdict now a decade ago. He was saying how white people were too mad and black people were too happy. White people felt completely screwed over by this he observed. Black people were too elated he saw. He joked that he went to his mailbox in the morning and looked inside for his O.J. prize because everyone was so personally happy about the decision.

But this is a little different.

But still, Where's my Harriet prize?

I was kinda disappointed, too. I didn't like the broad, either, but I feel that it's the president's right to nominate whom the president wants.

It's the Senate's job to shoot her down, not the media or some snotnosed punk like Billy Kristol. I'm pissed that she didn't have the balls to stick around until she got shot down at the confirmation hearings.

Check your mailbox next week again for that prize; you may find something better!
