She did her job as best as she could. I'm sure she never sought the limelight. But she was used from the very persons she trusted. That's not an experience I wish to anybody.

I think that's how it works? As far as I know Harriet hasn't had a date for a while---like maybe 40 years. She probably had her last date when Elivs was popular. Elivs Presley, not Elvis Costello. The right-wing fundies didn't give her a fair hearing. They came out swinging and demonized her. She was very wounded before the confirmation process even began. She stumbled a bit, and then her ship was sunk. Realistically, I don't think she was Supreme Court material. Apparently, she's not marriage material either. Dumbo Bush was at the helm of the Titantic, and he didn't see one iceberg in sight. How he didn't forsee a nasty political battle is beyond me. John Don’t you date before there’s a marriage proposal?

And "the fear" is starting to consume george. He knows that he will need a rovian type lawyer to address the mountains of litigation that is bound to come his way. As President, he pledged to uphold the Constitution. He has totally failed his basic responsibilities as President. And he knows it. Now, with back to the wall and drowned in his own generated fear, he replaces a female evangelist who could only pray for his aquital. Harriet was only window dressing for George.
