Once again George W. Bush has outsmarted conservatives as well as liberals.

“You want another woman on the Supreme Court?” he asked. “OK, here’s my crony Harriet. What? She’s not good enough for you because she’s from SMU? I guess that means you really want a guy from the Ivy League. OK, here’s Samuel Alito, who’s from Princeton and Yale. Now stop your bellyaching!”

Remember the old saying “Never bet against Joe Louis, FDR or the Yankees”?

Now it’s “Place your bets on GWB.”

If “Tricky Dick” Nixon was your hero, make room for “Gamblin’ George” Bush.
