A SONNET FOR HARRIET

OK so boredom and yesterday's post have inspired me to write a sonnet about l'affaire Miers:

John Roberts is a brilliant legal mind;
Although his politics don't fit my mold,
I wouldn't be surprised someday to find
He'd not done slavishly as he was told.
But Harriet Miers is another story
A crony from the inner circle formed
And who, despite Bush promises of glory
Has failed to leave the wingnut coldness warmed.
"Bush broke his promise!" they proclaim, betrayed,
"To nominate another Clarence T!"
"He told us we'd be rid of Roe v. Wade,
but with this woman where's our guarantee?"
She calls Bush the most brilliant man she's met!!!
A sentiment my marrow can't forget!!!
