An Immodest Proposal

    We now have another female headed for the Supreme Court. Since I know nothing about her I’ll refrain from trashing her other than to note that she was chosen by the White House string pullers who control the Obama marionette. I’ll grant that on the face of it she seems a hell-of-a-lot more viable than Bush’s pick of Harriet Miers. (You remember Ms. Miers don’t you? For a couple of weeks back in 2005 she was the world’s most famous non-entity.)
    Here’s what the sobersides at Powerline  have to say about Ms. Kagan (MackRatings alongside in uppercase):

- She has no judging experience. (MackRating: POSITIVE)
- She has little experience as a practicing lawyer. (MackRating: VERY POSITIVE)
- She has approximately one year of experience as Solicitor General of the United States. (MackRating: SOMEWHAT NEGATIVE — no experience would be preferable)
- She has lots of experience in academia...( MackRating: VERY VERY NEGATIVE)
- ...but has published only a small amount of scholarly work, none of which seems particularly noteworthy. (MackRating: VERY POSITIVE)
- As the dean of Harvard Law School, she was tolerant of conservative law professors... (MackRating: NEUTRAL — tolerance is okay, but what we're looking for are people who actually love conservative law professors)
- ...but not of the United States military. (MackRating: KINDA STUPID — she seems to have blamed the army for Clinton’s "Don’t ask, don’t tell" weasel policy)

    So, summarizing, SCOTUS is blessed with two sitting females, one likely future female, and one past scuttled female. Here are the four of them (photos courtesy of Hither and Yon):

           
            Kagan                                    Ginsburg                                Sotomayor                                    Miers            

    Question: What is the single defining characteristic of all four of these ladies? (You have 2.5 seconds to respond).
    Right!
    They are UGLY — homely at best, unattractive certainly, even borderline hideous.
    Meaning no insult, these creatures put the lie to the phrase, "The fair sex." I mean they make Janet Reno look like a prom queen.
    Am I saying that ugly women should not be appointed to the Supreme Court?
    Yes! Exactly! Precisely!
    You say I'm a Chauvinist Pig?
    Yes! Exactly! Precisely!
    What the court needs desperately is someone to bring it together, someone to unite the court in the pursuit of a common goal (i.e., sex), someone to disperse the atmosphere of dissention and replace it with lust, someone who can lift the dark clouds of tedium that hover over the court's deliberations, someone to dispel sterile arguments about whether the court should enforce the Constitution or whether it should defer to those higher considerations of morality and loving-kindness outlined in films by Al Gore and Michael Moore.
    With these weighty factors in mind, I, therefore, respectfully request that Elena Kagan withdraw her name (gracefully or otherwise).
    In her place, I nominate Andie MacDowell, the woman with the most beautiful smile in the history of the world.
    

                                
                             Andie MacDowell, next Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

    Justice Clarence Thomas will be eternally grateful.
    And so will I when I am named to the court at some future date in some alternate universe by some really fucked-up President.
