New High Court Nominee Praised For Her Gender

Yes, it's satire.

WASHINGTON, D.C.- As any Commander in Chief will tell you, picking a Supreme Court nominee is hard work, especially when you're filling a swing vote vacancy like that left by respected moderate Sandra Day O'Connor. With public expectations so high, it was important to the President to replace the first female justice with another woman. Most scholars agree that the current 9 to 2 gender ratio on the High Court is acceptable but a 9 to 1 ratio would qualify as horribly sexist.

After Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, long thought to be a foregone conclusion to ascend to the High Court, refused to go through with the required gender reassignment surgery, administration officials had to return once again to the drawing board, searching high and low for just the right candidate. Then, after thumbing through the four-inch-thick short list of possible nominees last week, aides say the President gestured over to White House counsel Harriet Miers standing next to him and casually asked "hey, why don't you do it?"
