Big news — President Bush will be announcing his pick to replace Justice O’Connor tonight at 9pm. Given the unfortunate realities of the confirmation process, I feel a bit like it’s the opening scene of a new Stephen Sondheim musical, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Courtroom.“
Something familiar,
Something peculiar,
Something for everyone:
A nominee tonight!Something appealing,
Something appalling,
Something for everyone:
A nominee tonight!Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns;
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!Old situations,
New complications,
Nothing portentous or polite;
Tragedy tomorrow,
A nominee tonight!Something convulsive,
Something repulsive,
Something for everyone:
A nominee tonight!Something aesthetic,
Something frenetic,
Something for everyone:
A nominee tonight!
Or something like that, anyway. Stay tuned.
