…I received my usual ‘take action alert’ email from them today, however this one was a bit entertaining<\/a> given the political climate in this country and the state of women’s reproductive rights. It parodies the growing threat of Dubya appointing an uber-c0nservative, vehemently anti-choice\/anti-contraceptives ideologue to the Supreme Court, with an interesting ‘help wanted ad’ and a humorous list of possible nominees for the job of Supreme Court justice.<\/p>\n

Bush’s current applicants to the Supreme Court are: a Scalia clone. A judge who failed to earn a “qualified” rating by a state bar commission – TWICE. And a judge who upheld an abortion ban that was later found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court…<\/p>\n

Yes indeed, President Bush has been working REALLY hard to gather applications for this job, and frankly, we think he needs a break! So here’s your chance to help Bush for once…<\/p>\n

Pick the Supreme Court applicant YOU think is best in line with the strict qualifications and legal expertise of president’s current short-list:<\/p>\n

Cartman from South Park<\/strong>
\n“Respect my authoritay!” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Paris Hilton<\/strong>
\n“The constitution? That’s HOT.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Darth Vader<\/strong>
\n“I already have the black robe.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cast of the O.C.<\/strong>
\n“Upping the Supreme Court’s ratings with a little beach drama” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Wonkette<\/strong>
\n(Would be novel to see someone on the Supreme Court who’s as obsessed with people’s sex lives as Scalia. We call a Lawrence v. Texas rematch!) <\/strong> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And yes, I just had to pick my favorite ‘choking-everyone-who-irritates-him’ villain, Darth Vader. So who should get the job from this “wonderful” list of nominees?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
