Bush nominates Miers to be Scooter Libby's lawyer

Discovering the nuance of Australian comedy

From The Chaser of Australia: article

President Bush has found another job for his friend and failed Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, appointing her to defend another embattled friend, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, after his indictment for perjury. "Harriet Miers is the ideal candidate to represent Scooter in court," the President announced. "She's a wonderful Christian, a loyal friend and I know her heart. What more could you want, apart from maybe legal skills?" But Mr Libby has rejected the nomination, saying Ms Miers lacks adequate qualifications not just for the Supreme Court, but also for his criminal trial. "Lord knows, I need a really good lawyer," he explained.

Bush has already regrouped from Libby’s decision, nominating Miers to perform Dick Cheney’s open heart surgery.

Yeah, I thought this would be a cute article, considering the tone and tenor of recent screeds.
