NRO's The Corner: Rolling Bile, Spit, and Gnash Thread

Let's start with Ralph Reed:

When President Obama announced his nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, Joe Biden thankfully spared the nation another muttered profanity (there was no boasting about a “big f-ing big deal,” though surely it was). The rest of the country is suppressing its own outburst, for the selection of Kagan takes beltway cynicism to a new low, which is saying a lot in a city where some claim a massive health-care entitlement will reduce the deficit.

Obama selected a Supreme Court nominee with zero judicial experience and virtually no background as a litigator. Realizing her liabilities, he and his allies substitute biography for experience, pushing the myth of the girl from Manhattan who challenged her rabbi as a teenager and blazed a trail for women in a man’s world, all while displaying a “nurturing Jewish mother” side. The New York Times assures us Kagan is a “pragmatist” and a “consensus-builder.” Harboring any doubts? Well, as dean she renovated the gym, opened a skating rink, and improved women’s restrooms at Harvard Law School. So there!

One wonders if Obama thinks anyone actually believes this nonsense. He claims he chose Kagan because she understands how the law affects “ordinary people.” You know, like the folks on the Upper West Side, at blue-chip law firms, and in Harvard Yard. No, there is nothing ordinary about Elena Kagan.

Was hoping this thread would start with a poll too.

Greetings from Lisbon [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Volcanic ash and a flight over Poland later . . . My first random conversation in Portugal involved Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, WFB, Karl Rove, and Laura Ingraham, from a Chicagan here (not with NR) to pray at Fatima tomorrow with the pope. I promise I didn't even initiate it.

she talked about weezy f baby?

That reminds me: did we ever talk here about this, in which Corner denizen Michael Novak argues that the USA should go to war against Iran so that people like him can continue to visit the Holy Land on holiday? Here's the opening line:

"On Easter Sunday, I was able to sit in prayer for a while at the Shrine run by sweet Italian nuns on top of the Mountain of the Beatitudes, the most famous of Sermons. It was infinitely peaceful, and I needed it."

Out from the Online Closet [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
It's not just blog sites anymore ... the Washington Post today discusses the latest Supreme Court justice's sexual preference. And while doing so, Ruth Marcus makes the case to Obama that his next pick should be an actual gay justice — it's the diverse thing to do:

From my (straight, married mother) point of view, a gay justice would be a benefit to the court and the country. To the country because it would speed up the inevitable: acceptance of gay Americans in all walks of life. To the court because — as with any additional perspective — an openly gay justice would add to the richness of the court's understanding of cases, particularly gay rights cases, that come before it.

Would we need bisexual, transgender, and "questioning" justices (going through the GLBTQ list) before our nation's college campuses were adequately represented?

It's remarkable to me that this woman's personal life is being so openly discussed — without her or the president making it an issue. There are plenty of substantive judicial issues to discuss. But then Senate judicial fights in recent years, have been known to slander nominees and make a spouse cry — they've even attacked family vacation choices.

Rubio Country Here We Come [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I see that the RNC has chosen Tampa for their next convention. Well done. This means Marco Rubio doesn't have to be on the ticket to be a star of the show. And it will help make the story more about Jeb's record as governor than his last name when he is the nominee.

If we were on Twitter I would add #klohasmadecrazierpoliticalpredictions to the end of that.)

My favorite Corner post of the last two years, worth reprinting:

On one of NRs early cruises, the first one the Borks attended, I met the judge for the first time at NRs cocktail party and offered to get him a drink. I asked what he was drinking. A martini, of course, was the reply. I said I would join him. We bellied up to the bar and asked for two martinis. The bartender started to make them when Judge Bork looked at him and said, give me those (meaning the gin, vermouth, and the shaker). The bartender dutifully turned them over and the judge proceeded to make our martinis the way they were SUPPOSED to be made. A great man with a great sense of humor

lol that someone in real life would actually do that

A great man, with a great sense of humor.

Nixon Forces Firing of Cox; Richardson, Ruckelshaus Quit
President Abolishes Prosecutor's Office; FBI Seals Records

By Carroll Kilpatrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, October 21, 1973; Page A01

In the most traumatic government upheaval of the Watergate crisis, President Nixon yesterday discharged Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and accepted the resignations of Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William D. Ruckelshaus.

The President also abolished the office of the special prosecutor and turned over to the Justice Department the entire responsibility for further investigation and prosecution of suspects and defendants in Watergate and related cases.

Shortly after the White House announcement, FBI agents sealed off the offices of Richardson and Ruckelshaus in the Justice Department and at Cox's headquarters in an office building on K Street NW.

An FBI spokesman said the agents moved in "at the request of the White House."

Agents told staff members in Cox's office they would be allowed to take out only personal papers. A Justice Department official said the FBI agents and building guards at Richardson's and Ruckelshaus' offices were there "to be sure that nothing was taken out."

Richardson resigned when Mr. Nixon instructed him to fire Cox and Richardson refused. When the President then asked Ruckelshaus to dismiss Cox, he refused, White House spokesman Ronald L. Ziegler said, and he was fired. Ruckelshaus said he resigned.

Finally, the President turned to Solicitor General Robert H. Bork, who by law becomes acting Attorney General when the Attorney General and deputy attorney general are absent, and he carried out the President's order to fire Cox. The letter from the President to Bork also said Ruckelshaus resigned.

These dramatic developments were announced at the White House at 8:25 p.m. after Cox had refused to accept or comply with the terms of an agreement worked out by the President and the Senate Watergate committee under which summarized material from the White House Watergate tapes would be turned over to Cox and the Senate committee.

In announcing the plan Friday night, the President ordered Cox to make no further effort to obtain tapes or other presidential documents.

Cox responded that he could not comply with the President's instructions and elaborated on his refusal and vowed to pursue the tape recordings at a televised news conference yesterday.

That set in motion the chain of events that resulted in the departure of Cox and the two top officials of the Justice Department and immediately raised prospects that the President himself might be impeached or forced to resign.

In a statement last night, Cox said: "Whether ours shall continue to be a government of laws and not of men is now for Congress and ultimately the American people."

The action raised new questions as to whether Congress would proceed to confirm House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan to be Vice President or leave Speaker of the House Carl Albert (D-Okla.) next in line of succession to the highest office in the land.

Richardson met at the White House in the late afternoon with Mr. Nixon and at 8:25 p.m. Ziegler appeared in the White House press room to read a statement outlining the President's decisions.

The President discharged Cox because he "refused to comply with instructions" the President gave him Friday night through the Attorney General, Ziegler said.

Furthermore, Ziegler said, the office of special prosecutor was abolished and its functions have been turned over to the Department of Justice.

The department will carry out the functions of the prosecutor's office "with thoroughness and vigor," Ziegler said.

Mr. Nixon sought to avoid a constitutional confrontation by the action he announced Friday, the press secretary said, to give the courts the information from the tapes which the President had considered privileged.

That action was accepted by "responsible leaders in the Congress and in the country," Ziegler commented, but the special prosecutor "defied" the President's instructions "at a time of serious world crisis" and made it "necessary" for the President to discharge him.

Before taking action, Ziegler said, the President met with Richardson to instruct him to dismiss Cox, but Richardson felt he could not do so because it conflicted with the promise he had made to the Senate, Ziegler said.

After Richardson submitted his resignation, the President directed Ruckelshaus to dismiss Cox. When Ruckelshaus refused to carry out the President's directive, he also was "discharged," Ziegler said. The President's letter to Bork said Ruckelshaus resigned.

Mr. Nixon then directed Bork to carry out the instruction. Bork did so in a two-paragraph letter to Cox, in which he said that at the instruction of the President he was "discharging you, effective at once, from your position as special prosecutor, Watergate special prosecution force."

Bork signed his letter as "acting Attorney General."

Richardson told the President in his letter that he was resigning with "deep regret." He explained that when named Attorney General "you gave me the authority to name a special prosecutor."

"At many points throughout the nomination hearings, I reaffirmed my intention to assure the independence of the special prosecutor," Richardson said.

He said he promised that Cox would not be dismissed except for "extraordinary improprieties."

"While I fully respect the reasons that have led you to conclude that the special prosecutor must be discharged, I trust that you understand that I could not in the light of these firm and repeated commitments carry out your direction that this be done," Richardson said.

Richardson expressed "lasting gratitude" to the President, under whom he also served as under secretary of state, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and Secretary of Defense. He became Attorney General in May after the resignation of Richard G. Kleindienst, who explained that because of his close association with former Attorney General John N. Mitchell and others involved in Watergate he did not believe he should stay in the post and carry out their prosecution.

"It has been a privilege to share in your efforts to make the structure of world peace more stable and the structure of our own government more responsive," Richardson wrote Mr. Nixon.

"I believe profoundly in the rightness and importance of those efforts, and I trust that they will meet with increasing success in the remaining years of your presidency."

The President replied with a one-sentence letter, addressed "Dear Elliott." It said: "It is with the deepest regret and with an understanding of the circumstances which brought you to your decision that I accept your resignation."

The White House did not release an exchange of letters between Ruckelshaus and the President. But Ruckelshaus wrote a resignation letter and released it.

In a letter to Bork, the President, noting that by law he was acting Attorney General, said that Cox had "made it apparent that he will not comply with the instructions I issued to him."

"Clearly the government of the United States cannot function if employees of the executive branch are free to ignore in this fashion the instructions of the President," Mr. Nixon wrote.

"Accordingly, in your capacity of acting Attorney General, I direct you to discharge Mr. Cox immediately and to take all steps necessary to return to the Department of Justice the functions now being performed by the Watergate Special Prosecution Force.

"It is my expectation that the Department of Justice will continue with full vigor the investigations and prosecutions that had been entrusted to the Watergate special prosecution force."

At the Justice Department, where there were repeated requests by newsmen to interview Richardson and Ruckelshaus, department spokesman John W. Hushen said they had "no desire to come out and talk to newsmen."

Hushen quoted Bork: "All I will say is that I carried out the President's directive."

i just did the same thing and couldnt figure that post out for like five minutes

Actually, I blame Bork less for following Nixon's order than for the host of opinions he'd craft as a judge, for becoming an ogre after the bitterness of not getting confirmed consumed him. According to Ethan Bronner's Battle For Justice, Bork stayed for the stability of the Dept of Justice, whose morale was at a historic low; he knew even then that Nixon wouldn't finish his second term, so careerism had little to do with it.

oh boy!

Miss USA — Using Politics to Sell Sex? [Lisa Schiffren]

I see that, for the second year in a row, politics has intruded upon the Miss USA contest. After last year's tedious debacle with Carrie Prejean and the gay-marriage question, you'd think they would have learned to steer clear of hot-button social issues.

In the final round of this year's contest, the beautiful blonde who came in second was asked what she thought of Arizona's new immigration law. This is a subject that has spurred heated and unpleasant discussions across the land, but Miss Oklahoma was up to the task. She began her answer by saying "I'm a huge believer in states rights," which means, she explained, that she thinks it was okay for Arizona to pass the law. Now, that strikes me as a singularly politic way of avoiding the parts of the issue that are upsetting to people without ducking the question.

The ultimate winner, Miss Michigan, was asked if contraception should be paid for by health insurance. She thought that it should be. She explained, "I believe that birth control is just like every other medication, even though it's a controlled substance."

Controlled substance? Missed the point? Never mind. That dark-haired beauty, Rima Fakih, who hails from Dearborn and was educated in Catholic schools, will take her place as the first Arab-American Miss USA.

As it turns out, these political provocations were simply distractions from the real story. Miss USA is no longer about lovely, wholesome girls looking for scholarships. Under "the Donald's" new rules, posing for soft-core underwear ads was part of the talent testing — presumably, he does not want to exclude any hot and sexy young woman with a few nude pictures in her past, a little porn in her portfolio, or a stint as a stripper to her name. Indeed, becoming an underwear model is now considered a perfect career aspiration for contestants — which is good, because that was the substance of the pageant.

Happily, this means that Miss Michigan's exploits as a pole dancer won't disqualify her from the title.

The decline and fall continues.

trump's owned miss usa for fourteen years

i actually assumed it was a trump-created knockoff off miss america, but apparently miss usa has been a thing since the 50's, with miss america going back to 192something

I love that, for these people, good use of your time = worrying about a fucking beauty pageant

good use of my time = reading half a dozen right wingers losing their shit about an arab girl winning a beauty pageant

i posted the nuttiest one to the politics thread but nobody bit :(

McCarthy's deranged posts are daily phenomena. Maybe he can cover beauty pageants...?

Cosmo [Mona Charen]

Funny you should mention that. I was in the supermarket yesterday with my 14-year-old son who asked "What's up with Cosmopolitan? What is that?" I replied, "It's a magazine for sluts."

so much pity for Mona Charen's son

Dan's response to this still makes me laugh out loud.

Buh-Bye Arlen [Jonathan Adler]

My first job in Washington, D.C., during the summer after my freshman year in college, was an internship in the office of Senator Arlen Specter. (In my defense, my political views were still developing, and he was my "hometown" Senator.) At the time Specter was a nominal Republican, though it seemed most of his staff were Democrats. His counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee had previously worked for Senator Kennedy. I didn't see much of him, and what limited interaction I had was not particularly favorable — and I've not been a fan ever since. Good riddance.

American Idolatry [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I’m still NR cruising (there were two cruises to Portugal and Spain, Jay was on the first — read about it here — and I’m on the second), so I can only keep up with so much of what is going on back home. And so, naturally, one of the things I’ve kept up with is…American Idol.

Please tell me that I am missing something about this Ellen DeGeneres–Crystal Bowersox controversy, because it reads like someone looking to manufacture outrage. I find it more shocking that “Hallelujah” (have you heard the words to that song? ) would be sung on a primetime show that lots of families watch than that Crystal would be asked to sing a Paul McCartney song.

"NR cruising" = hitting on Mona Charen at the martini bar.

I find it more shocking that “Hallelujah” (have you heard the words to that song? ) would be sung on a primetime show that lots of families watch

how exactly he had gone from Occidental to Columbia to Harvard Law School

lol i think i read the daily mail thread more often than the cleggeron one

otm

how exactly he had gone from Occidental to Columbia to Harvard Law School

basically, because Obama fucked around at Occidental and didn't have a STELLAR GPA, they are saying he didn't deserve to be at Columbia or Harvard, even though (AFAIK) he became more serious about his academics and got much better grades as a result once he got to Columbia

Must've been the cocaine that Bill Ayers was putting up Barry's nose.

i am still trying to read the whole thing tbh

it is so deeply fucked up

good luck to you, i can barely get past his picture

ty, am into this roomy ruminating, lots of space for nonspecific, probably governmental interference

it has also been implied by certain right-wing figures that occidental, despite having produced a republican vice-presidential candidate, a member of monty python, the managing editor of the new yorker and at least one blogger, is not a good enough school for its students to transfer to columbia

Youth versus age was seen only in terms of administrative authority, not in terms of the erotic power of youthful beauty.

yeah the middle stretch of this thing, where he relates all of this tales of departmental basic-instinctism committed by women in grad school, is just beyond

Kathryn, I don't understand why you keep dragging Taylor Swift into discussions about conservative politics. What does she have to do with the conservative movement or the Republican Party? She is a commercial music artist who sells records to teen and tween girls. I don't see any political connection - we are talking about apples and oranges here. For some reason you seem to have been brainwashed into believing that Taylor represents your side in a culture war, a belief for which there is no evidence. Your political commentaries raise many good points, but I think you are mistaken on this issue.

There's some kind of symmetry to The Band Perry taking down three CMA awards while the number three is so much crueler to Governor Perry on this evening.

Imagining what a Corner-sponsored version of EMP would be like.

it would look like the NRO cruise.

Still waiting for some heroic waiter on said cruise to persuade the crew to abandon ship one night.

The irrepressible Nordlinger reviewed his own magazine's cruise. Excerpt:

Where were we? In any case, our first panel, aboard the ship, is with Paul Johnson and David Pryce-Jones. Do two people constitute a panel? I guess not — in any case, we had a nice talk. We talked about matters artistic and architectural: Versailles, Chartres, the Eiffel Tower. We talked about the royal wedding (Wills ’n’ Kate). We talked about Syria, America, and sundry other matters.

Were P.J. and P-J brilliant and inspiring? Can you make a shoe smell? (Line from Caddyshack.)

On a peaceful afternoon, floating down the Seine, I hear a church bell in the distance. I check my BlackBerry, thinking a text has come in. (My signal, or whatever the word is, sounds rather like a bell.) Is that a bad sign — that one is too BlackBerry-oriented?

I suppose there are better ways to pass an afternoon than to float down the Seine, talking with Priscilla Buckley and Paul Johnson. But I can’t imagine there are many . . .

I meet a young woman, from the eastern side of Germany. She was born shortly before reunification. I think how lucky such people are: to have avoided a life under Communism. Good timing.

We stopped watching the debates at about #3. We don't get to hear EACH candidate address EACH issue, so what is the point? It's like watching the teacher pick her favorites over and over.

Are we the only ones with a DVR? As with most programs, we recorded the awards show to be able to skip through the commercials (and bands we don't like) tonight.

And Taylor Swift is tiresome, not a country musician, and all her songs sound alike.

Perhaps, but she is super super cute and if she had a larger bust - nothing crazy, just a generous B-cup would break up the vertical line - she'd be one of the most beautiful women on the planet. And the fact that she's not a party girl train wreck like Lindsey Lohan is a plus.
