You are being too cute by a very large margin. "Some say that her SMU degree is a smudge in her makeup."

I am sure that you can find "some" who have said anything that you want them to have said. I am reasonably confident that you could even find "some" who would say that this latest submission of yours makes sense, from an intellectually honest point of view.

Perhaps you could identify exactly which critics of Ms. Miers are slamming her for her SMU degree. Every candidate that I have seen touted in this current mess by the conservative side is a NON IVY LEAGUE graduate. That includes the male and female candidates, the minority and majority candidates.

p>As far as saying that both sides are right in these diametrically opposed arguments, that is almost as silly as the nomination of Miers itself. You sound just like Ms. Miers, herself. Take two opposing sides of a debate, split the difference down the middle, and demand plaudits from both sides for your wisdom. The last person that got major plaudits for that tactic was written about in the Old Testament of the Bible. The only thing you do is to antagonize both sides and reveal yourself as too timid to make a decision. Stand in the middle of the road and see if you get hit from both directions, why don't you. br> -- Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire /p> p> Jay D.
