Liberals would send, without a separation of church scruple, the Revs. Martin Luthur King Jr., Jesse Jackson, or Al Sharpton to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/i> — Louis Sargent, Northwest Portland.<\/p>\n

Hrm. That’s a basic lineage of degression: King to Jackson — who fancied himself the next coming of King, and then Jackson to Sharpton — who fancies himself the next coming of Jackson. But nevermind. Right now Martin Luthur King Jr has been de-politicized to a point where we can kind of gloss over some of his more — um — socialistic inclinations — and we can presume that he satisfactorily accomplished his dream of full integration… so just about every politician can announce that, yes indeed, they’d like him as a Supreme Court Pick… since he’s dead and that’s not going to happen.<\/p>\n

Never mind. I don’t know if Louis Sargent is in mind with this radical street preacher I had conversations with over the Internet, name of Eldon Orr, who insists that Marin Luthur King, Jr. got his training at a “Communist Training School”, but by the time we get to Al Sharpton… I don’t see any reason he should get onto the Supreme Court. In Sharpton’s defense and in Harriet Mier’s offense, I don’t know who Sharpton’d be a crony of. <\/p>\n

It is not Harriet Miers passing out M & Ms that makes me cringe. It is Bill Kristol and his ilk assuming they get to pick the court. Miers needs to withdraw and think Bill is God — as he does.<\/i> Myrna Alberthsen, Southeast Portland.<\/p>\n

Hrm. Here, at long last, is the manifestation of that supposed difference between the Republican voter and the Republican elite that George Bush Administration is waving as a threat to the batch of Republican senators running for president. Should Miers think that Bill Kristol is God, it would be a simple change from the current state of being — where she thinks that George is God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
