Sue Bob Nails Anti-Miers Snobs

The pervasive Ivy League snobbery in the MSM and inside-the-beltway pundits (including, unfortunately, Laura Ingraham), which assumes you're not going to get brainpower out of LSU or any other non-Ivy school, is starting to make me a fan of Harriet Miers.

Not surprisingly, another one of those little ol' Texas gals, Sue Bob, is not too happy with all this looking-down-our-noses at Harriet. SB takes the snobs apart in a juicy post, which includes this excerpt:
The other thing that Laura Ingraham dwelled on is her fear that somehow being invited to cocktail parties is going to turn Harriet's head and she's going to turn into liberal mush as a result. Yeah, right. The little gal from Texas is going to be sooo impressed and awed by the snoots in the suits who hold the keys to the cocktail parties at which are served the best little quiches.

I don't think so.

I was much more concerned about the Roberts nomination, than Harriet's, because he spent his entire career immersed in the Beltway fishbowl. I bet he regularly goes to those cocktail parties. That's the only way that I could explain his participation in that gay pro bono case that people were up in arms about.
Read the whole post. It's a peach.
