摘要

Beset with allegations that he appoints incompetent cronies to important positions, what does George Bush do? He nominates his former personal lawyer to the Supreme Court. No one is suggesting that Harriet Miers is flat-out incompetent, but is she really the best candidate for a job-for-life on the nation's highest court? Many of Mr Bush's conservative allies doubt it. "I'm disappointed, depressed and demoralised," said William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, a neo-conserva-tive magazine. "Her qualifications for the Supreme Court are non-existent," said Patrick Buchanan, a former Republican presidential wannabe. If it were only Democrats accusing the president of letting friendship cloud his judgment, Mr Bush could doubtless shrug it off. But when the Wall Street Journal's first reaction is an op-ed entitled "Cronyism", and the National Review's website damns with the faintest praise imaginable-"It's not as bad as Caligula putting his horse in the Senate"—surely something is amiss.
