Dumb and Dumber
A very smart friend of mine…and I mean VERY smart…once said to me when I asked her how she’d accomplished so much at her very young age, “I always try to be the dumbest person in the room.”
Now that was damn near impossible for her, I thought. But, she continued, “That’s no BS. A smart person gets smarter by always trying to surround herself with smarter people. It rubs off.”
Today in Maureen Dowd’s column in The NY Times we have this: “David Frum, the former White House speechwriter and conservative commentator, reported on his blog that Ms. Miers once told him that W. was the most brilliant man she knew.”
Come again?
There are a few inferences we can draw from this: Miers has never met Antonin Scalia, (or, for that matter, Forrest Gump); Miers is a lying kiss up to her boss; Miers should have no trouble being the dumbest person in the room if she makes it to the Supreme Court chambers.
