Northern Underexposure
The Hollywood Liberal — Northern Underexposure ST. PAUL, Minn. — By all rights, there should be a revolt at this week’s Republican convention against John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate — for the very same reasons so many Republicans opposed President Bush’s selection of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. Palin is, if anything, less qualified for the vice presidency (and the presidency) than Miers was for the court. But there is one big difference: Palin passes all the right-wing litmus tests, which means she is unlikely to suffer Miers’ fate. ...

"It Sounds Like a Harriet Miers Decision. Let's Find a Woman, Whether She's Experienced or Not"
corner.nationalreview.com 8/29/2008 — That was Scarborough, a minute ago. (My MSNBC addiction rears its ugly head again.) Again, with Obama in the mix running for president, I don't think it's as fair a hit on Palin, who has more executive experience than Barack Obama. It certainly will ...
A Harriet Miers Moment?
andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com 8/29/2008 — Could this be McCain's Miers moment? Some readers think so: the point at which people suddenly realize that McCain is actually less interested in governing than in politics. And willing to let personal liking and respect for utterly unqualified ...
Might Palin Pull a Harriet Miers? — MoJo Blog Posts: mojo
So it's only been a few days that Sarah Palin's been on the ticket. But for chrissakes, it's only been a few days that she's been on the ticket! This much drama , this soon? At this rate, I half-expect Maury Povich to nab her first interview . And I actually felt kinda dirty watching the ...
She's Qualified — The Corner on National Review Online
In his column today in the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne Jr. refers to Governor Sarah Palin as 'breathtakingly reckless' and refers to her as 'Harriet Miers, except without all the experience.' The problem for Dionne, of course, is the Governor Palin is, based on her resume and achievement, ...

Sarah Palin, “Small Town Mayor” — Outside The Beltway | OTB
Those who’ve read my previous commentary on Sarah Palin, notably yesterday’s post on the announcement of Palin as McCain’s VP pick, know that I think she’s a poor choice. While she has many fans and may be possessed of some remarkable political gifts, she’s a tough ...
Art Levine: Sarah Palin: The New Harriet Miers -- or Dan Quayle in Drag? — Politics on HuffingtonPost.com
McCain's stunning choice of the ex-beauty queen, evangelical half-term Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin may be one of the biggest political gambles in modern political history. But if the Democrats can avoid over-the-top sexism in belittling her, the pick could be a major boon to the ...
McCain's Harriet Miers? — Newshoggers.com
By BJ I'm still trying to wrap my head around McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for the Vice-Presidential slot on the GOP ticket. It seems more like pandering for novelty than a serious choice. And it is not a question of experience, even though McCain has chosen the one candidate for VP ...
The most qualified social conservative we could find — Swampland
Posting for Amy Sullivan It appears Sarah Palin was picked not just for her appeal to women voters but also to please social conservatives. If so, this could be Harriet Miers redux. And that didn't work out so well the first time.
Vagina Dumbtata — The Poor Man Institute
McCain just tapped Harriet Miers Sarah Palin as his vice presidential choice. He must really think women are stupid: Me woman. She woman. Me vote for Oldy McSame. This brought to us by the same mindset that thought pretty-boy Dan Qauyle would attract women voters. The campaign via Tiger ...
