Back to High School:

Ms Harriet E. Miers flunked her first test this week. She won't be allowed to take her oral exam until she successfully passes, and the Senate has given her a "re-do." Well, in most states you do get three shots at passing your driver's licence exam. That parallel parking thing's a real killer.

Some senators reported that Ms Miers' answers on the written test were down right insulting, but the Bushies have no plans to pull her name from the Supremie Court thing. They want their little sweety to have a nice office, and by golly, they plan to get her into it. Georgie boy sticks by his buddies, even if they do end up fiddling around while the whole town drowns.
