Many of you probably have heard about how Miers' responses to the Supreme Court questionnaire "range from incomplete to insulting". As usual, Jon Stewart has a good piece about that, from his October 20th show:

Now, of course, Miers' ultimate success rests entirely with her. And to that end, the Senate Judiciary committee has now handed Miers the questionnaire it gives all would-be Supreme Court Justices. Her answers would be a chance for her to show her intellectual heft, and prove herself qualified to those who will be judging her.

How did it turn out?

[Patrick Leahy] The answers to the questionnaire that came up was, uh... the comments I've heard range from incomplete to insulting.


...

More relevantly, the questionnaire asked Miers to furnish information, quote, "Describing all communications by the Bush administration, or individuals acting on behalf of the administration, to any individuals or interest groups with respect to how you would rule."

Miers' written response, and we are not making this up, was: "No."


By the by, here's another one to add to the list of 'in-' words describing Miers' questionnaire: incorrect.
