If Bork is still interested, Bork should be choice #1.
Dubya (Doofus, or "That person in the White House" as my liberal
friend in DC, who doesn't want to refer to him by name, calls him)
should nominate Bork if Bork is interested, and dare the
obstructionist, pro-illegitimate-activist Democrats and every single
member of the ugly leftist activist camp ("The People Rising" *gag*) to
expose themselves for what they truly are. Go ahead, Dubya, and go
ahead, Dimmies. Why not lose even more badly in 2006, deservedly?

I would love to see Bork get on the Court. I see no reason why he
should not be nominated.

If he truly wants a Conservative, which I doubt, he should be happy
just to get someone who still breathes. Most right wingers under 60
are either Neo-Con or Crazy-Con. |

The only reason I can think of is that Bork doesn't want to do it after
how he was savaged last time.
Can you imagine the howling ("Deliberate insult and provocation of the
Democrats and the people! Incredibly arrogant assult on the
Constitution!") if Dubya did this? |

Connie - you suggested that, perhaps,Condi Rice might run for President
some day. I have heard her state - several times - that she is
definitely not going to run - not interested. What she does want to do,
is to go back to Stanford U. - - Were she to run for president, I,
too,would have voted for her;a highly intelligent woman.

The media reported that the main reason she is retiring is because she
wants to spend more time with her husband,who is quite ill.

Kennedy?!

Interesting -- you all seem to have forgotten the "night of the long knives"
in which Bork provided Nixon with one last chance to fuck up the republic.

Actually, Rice's dream job is to be Commissioner of the National Football
League. There's this from an article about her:
Rice, a former Stanford University provost and political scientist, is one
of the president's most trusted advisers. If she were to leave government
service tomorrow, there would probably be a great number of major
corporations pursuing her. The football chat begins with a question about
her future, and Rice responds that her dream job is on Park Avenue in New
York.
She wants to be commissioner of the National Football League. She is
serious.
"That's absolutely right," she said, "though not immediately and not before
Paul Tagliabue is ready to step down. I want to say that for the record.
"I think it would be a very interesting job because I actually think
football, with all due respect to baseball, is a kind of national pastime
that brings people together across social lines, across racial lines. And I
think it's an important American institution."
Rice does not fit the stereotype of a pro football fan, of course. She is a
woman who speaks four languages, plays piano and has written three books,
including one on German unification. She was once a promising figure skater.
Rice's passion for football stems from her study of the history of warfare.
While acknowledging the obvious differences, Rice said she was attracted to
two fundamental similarities between football and warfare: the use of
strategy and the goal of taking territory.
"I really consider myself a student of the game," she said. "I find the
strategy and tactics absolutely fascinating. I find the evolution of the
game really interesting. Again, as it relates to military history. Military
history has swung back and forth between advantage to the offense and
advantage to the defense. When the offense has the advantage, then a new
technology will come along that will temporarily give the defense the
advantage and vice versa. Football has that kind of pattern, too."
Rice says she manages to sneak peeks at the television to catch highlights
of games during breaks between meetings. She tapes games and, despite
sometimes knowing the final score, will watch the game after arriving home.
"I would have written several more books if it had not been for the N.F.L.,"
Rice said, joking.
One of the signs that Rice is a big N.F.L. fan is that she watches ESPN's
"N.F.L. Gameday" show, a Sunday pregame football feast that lasts two hours.
When watching a game, Rice focuses on the offensive line and the secondary
the most, two areas where tactics are paramount. She also appreciates the
ground game. Her favorite players are all running backs: Marshall Faulk of
the St. Louis Rams ("an amazing athlete"), Emmitt Smith of the Dallas
Cowboys ("gives 300 percent every day") and Corey Dillon of the Cincinnati
Bengals ("I've been watching him develop for years").
Despite her knowledge of football, and her passion for it, Rice says men
often underestimate what she knows because she is a woman. As the Stanford
provost, Rice oversaw the university's athletic budget and was ultimately
responsible for hiring the football coach.
Some of the candidates she interviewed were surprised by her football
knowledge, a reaction she attributes to her gender.
"We'd go through the interview process," she said, "and inevitably I would
ask some question of a coach, say, who came from an option team. `You're not
going to be able to run the option at Stanford. We don't have enough bodies
to give up to run the option. What do you plan to do?' It always surprised
people."
Rice was introduced to football by her father, John, who was once a high
school football coach in Birmingham, Ala., where the family lived.
"I was supposed to be his all-American linebacker," Rice, who is an only
child, said. "He had already bought the football, so when I was born a girl,
he decided he had to teach me about football instead."
She grew up a Cleveland Browns fan because their games were broadcast in
Birmingham. When the Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown, someone she admired,
left Cleveland and coached the Cincinnati Bengals, she switched her
allegiance. Now she is a Browns fan again because of her friendship with
Carmen Policy, the team's general manager, whom she met when Policy held the
same post with the San Francisco 49ers.
Rice was asked if she would ever root for the team closest to the White
House. She laughed. "At the risk of offending people in Washington," she
said, "I'm not much of a Redskins fan." - NY Times
