More on the "Sexism" Charge

This from the excellent Captain's Quarters:

It's either feast or famine at the White House with the Harriet Miers nomination. Given the chance to lay out a positive, substantial case for her nomination to the Supreme Court, the Bush administration has remained largely silent. However, given an opportunity to smear the base that elected them, the administration has seized practically every opportunity to do so. The latest comes from the normally classy First Lady, who again promoted Ed Gillespie's barnburner accusation of sexism among the ranks of conservatives:

Captain Ed lists female nominees Conservatives have gladly, staunchly been supporting, such as Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owens, etc.

Michelle Malkin has a great round-up, which you can find

The Political Teen has video here.

It isn't just men I have heard criticize the Miers pick. There are plenty of Conservative women out there, like me, who wanted good, solid Conservative nominees, not unknowns. Am I being sexist? I don't think so. I haven't heard any men call Harriet Miers a stupid female or say she shouldn't be nominated because she is a female. Rather, we criticize her for her lack of Conservative qualifications.

On a basketball team, you don't appoint the waterboy as the new head coach, no matter how devoted he is to the team. He isn't qualified. Same thing here.
