Wonkette
Jennifer Granholm, a woman who will never be elected president of the United States because she is a Snow Mexican, may have to settle for the Supreme Court instead. Rumors have been FLYING about her getting appointed to the bench, and today they fly ever more vigorously because OMG she’s in town. Coincidentally, was she involved in all this hullabaloo about fuel emissions and efficiency standards perhaps because she is the governor of Michigan, the state where all the cars (used to) come from? Nope, the whole “cleaner, gentler auto industry” announcement is clearly a FEINT to get Granholm into a secret back room with Obama where they can talk about Constitutional philosophy.
Extra bonus grossout compliant-press watch: How can anyone argue that our White House press corps is just a pack of lonely nerds looking for a friend when you read stuff like this?
As to when [a Supreme Court] announcement might come, the press secretary provoked laughter as he served up, in perfect deadpan, an utterly obvious response: “An announcement could come,’’ Mr. Gibbs said, “as soon as the president makes a decision.’’
HARD-HITTING JOURNALISTS, ALL.
Granholm’s in the House, Leading to Supreme Court Chatter [The Caucus]
That Robert Gibbs. He so funny! He may take Granholm’s phone from her.
Warn her about Clarence Thomas, somebody!!!
That’s not quite as bad as Gibbs giving the press corps an “A,” which they then excitedly reported on all while trying to fake a hard-nosed attitude. But almost.
If she gets the nod, I can say for the first time in Supreme Court justice history: I’d tap that.
Her eyes said no, but her hair says yes! yes! yes!!
As a Snow Messikan, I should be insulted but I’m not because at least SKS differentiates us from Snow Billies (the Palin Grifter clan.)
JILF?
Duvall patrick is in town too, for the samer meeting. OMG DUVALL IS THE SCOTUS PICK - OR HE”S A WOMAN!
She looks like a soap opera villain.
That woman doesn’t look old at all. She could live another 40-50 years. This has got to piss off the republicans.
Yes, but can she sing the entire Anne Murray songbook?
Man, they are sure hard up for laughs if that was considered funny. What happened to that Ice Queen chick? She was often funny (though not for the reasons she thought she was perhaps).
ManchuCandidate: But does Snow Mexican count as hispanic?
I can feel Scalia scowling. It’s like ants on my skin.
gurukalehuru: Oh, the Republicans already can’t stand her. She’s a commie, she’s responsible for Michigan losing zillions of jobs (the rust-based economy having nothing to do with it), she spends all kinds of money on education and other horrible things. She gets routinely excoriated on the rightie talk shows. If she gets the nomination, the Republicans in the Senate would like nothing better than to have her confirmation and impeachment hearings run simultaneously.
HaHa. There’s a new NOM ad that’s just come out!
“If my dad married a man, who would be my mom?”
Kids say the most Zen things. . .
Red Zeppelin: Nice!
SmutBoffin: Better the kid should ask, “Who was Cain’s wife?”
All in all, she’s a lot cuter and a lot more Canadian than my own (Washington State) lady gov. That’s why she’s gonna get the bailed-out-by-appointment-to-SCOTUS thing.
I can’t think of any state governor that isn’t in deep doo-doo right now with economic collapse and all that terrifying state budget deficit stuff going on; pretty much all of them are fantasizing about SCOTUS. Especially the chicks, because they know they actually have a chance at it.
Some people can just rock the periwinkle blue ensemble, can’t they?
She’ll be the first SCOTUS judge to hold a bake sale in chambers!
Monsieur Grumpe: Seriously, we’ll have to establish an over/under of, I’d say, at least 8 for “subtly critical/personal digs made by Scalia towards Granholm in his concurrence.” It will be like an every week kind of thing.
OMG stand her next to Roberts, toss some fake snow at them and you have the perfect WASP Christmas card.
SMILF?
I believe that Obama keeps floating Granholm’s name for all of these fancy Washington jobs just so he can crush her spirits by telling her that she’s been passed over…again. You may remember that Granholm, who was pitch perfect as Joe Biden’s pretend Sarah Palin during debate prep, spent much of 2008 flailing around because all the Democrats except Hillary quit on Michigan because they didn’t participate in our rump primary.

I don’t know about the journalists being hard hitting, but I certainly would be.
It strikes me that the correct term would have to be SCJILF.
Nope, the whole “cleaner, gentler auto industry” announcement is clearly a FEINT to get Granholm into a secret back room with Obama where they can talk about Constitutional philosophy.
So that’s what the socialist kids are calling it nowadays…
SmutBoffin: The comments on this are uniformly sexytime excellent. “Grandma, what is that long pink thing in your nightstand that vibrates when it turn it on? Grandma? Grandma????!11!”
I hope she gets the Supreme Court. After dealing with Kwame Kilpatrick, Scalia will seem like nothing worse than a sour old man.
Red Zeppelin: Is that some code for lesbian that I’m unaware of? Because if it isn’t, it should be.
Barry should nominate Anita Hill for SCOTUS. Just because he can.
magic titty: Barry’s probably telling her to lose the suit if she wants
the gig. Oh, and the highlights, too.
keep a close eye on the top of your coke cans, Ms. Granholm…
First time I saw Granholm on teevee I thought she was some new newscaster to fap over.
You know what would really grease the confirmation wheels? If she was a lesbian. She’s certainly not going to get a checkmark in the minority or handi-capable boxes so she might as well swing for the fences.
With a little more peroxide, she could stand in for Rosie O’Donnell’s wife.
She’s a babe.
Sort of a Joan Allen look.
Cicada: It could well be–let’s ask Rachel Maddow. BTW they LURV Anne Murray in China–too bad the ambassador position’s been filled.
I am having impure thoughts about the supreme court for the first time in my life. While a sense of decorum prevents me from being more specific, they include “…oh, yeah Granny, work it Granny, just like that, yeah…
She’s even cuter in person…
Nice legs too.
Have to stop before I get into trouble…
Wait a minute. You can’t be President for 8 years if you are a dirty foreigner, but you can get a lifetime appointment deciding whether or not our laws are fair? And how come Arnold’s name has never been mentioned as a possible justice?
i read that headline as “cat lady is in town for cat talks” and kept wondering when you were gonna get to the good shit about her cute, fuzzy, little buddies.
Has anyone ever banged a Supreme Court Justice while court was in open session?
Ron Gettelfinger will be hidden under her robe - but it won’t matter cause the UAW will only have 4 people left in about 6 months.
Could we talk about qualifications, please? What pageants has she competed in, and how did she place?
Liar! She looks nothing at all like Click and Clack, the Car Talk guys.
Mr Blifil: I think that happened to Justice Frankfurter a number of times, but since they don’t allow cameras in the courtroom we’ll never know for sure.
Hubba-hubba, eh? The downside is, her mole, er beauty mark - whatevs, would have to be given a separate seat on the SCOTUS. But that’s ok, as long as it’s progressive!
Sure she’s cute, but she has the spine (and leadership qualities) of a jellyfish. Scalia will eat her for lunch.
Cape Clod: “Amicus curiae, baby!”
Accordion-o-rama: Miss San Carlos. She won. What, you thought you were being funny?
Mr Blifil: They didn’t call him “Sure-Good Marshall” for nothing, after all.
I would love to discuss her “rump primary”, if that’s really what she calls it, while in her chambers. But, I have to say, that hairstyle had my gheydar at about six clicks out.
WIDTAP: Even though Governor Granholm drives her Pontiac into Lake Michigan when she hears us say it, this is Wonkette.

All rise for the honorable Judge Granholm…
… and the lawyers all filled their briefs.
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week -
For the record, here is my guess;

(third row of photos down from the top, look at the one on the right)
Would Al Franken “do” her?
Suds McKenzie: I imagine he would. He appeared on national teevee, in bed, with Arianna Huffington.
JoSCOTUSILF?
This poor woman has the worst job in the world being governor of Michigan, I hope she gets out. And did you know? She played Sarah Palin in Joe Biden’s practice VP debates!
