Hero/Hack: Miers Titanic Edition
Harriet Miers is my hero this week for withdrawling. She did the right thing by steeping back, and allowing for (hopefully) a better qualified person to be appointed.
Honorable mention to Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report for giving her an excellent sendoff last night. And for not putting her picture next to Robert Bork's.
Leonardo DiCaprio is my hack for this week, for talking about global warming on Oprah. Not only does he add himself to the list of celebrities who try to manipulate political/ideological opinion (see also: Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Angelina Jolie, Pamela Anderson, Sean Penn, Richard Gere, Cameron Diaz, and Sean Penn), as well as nutjobs who appear on Oprah (see also: Tom Cruise). Looks like I won't be watching Catch Me If You Can anytime soon.
