Your Comparison Comparing Comparator Is Broken

I honestly don't know which is more annoyingly desperate:  Lake Palin/Tennessee flooding as "Obama's Katrina" or Elena Kagan as "Obama's Harriet Miers".  Steve Benen takes this out back and shoots it:

Whether one thinks Elena Kagan is a wise choice or not, it's hard to ignore the fact that she's a brilliant, accomplished attorney. Even conservatives tend to respect her as a gifted, skillful legal mind. Kagan's background, despite not having been a judge, is pretty impressive: Supreme Court clerk, White House domestic policy aide, dean of the Harvard Law School, Solicitor General of the United States. Not too shabby.

Harrier Miers, meanwhile, helped manage a law firm in Texas, and worked as the head of local bar associations that the state's top lawyers didn't join. She then worked for George W. Bush -- writing him charming notes, telling him he's "the best governor ever," who is "cool" and "the greatest" -- and he made her White House counsel before inexplicably concluding Miers was the single best lawyer in the United States for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Miers proceeded to offer responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee's questionnaire with glaring errors that first-year law school students would generally avoid.

Look, just because Bush was a moron as President doesn't mean every Democrat from here on out is going to make all the same moronic mistakes he did.

(Only some of them.)
