Cronyism?...what cronyism?

According to documents just made public in Texas, Harriet Miers has long thought of her colleague and friend, GWB, as cool, the greatest and a blessing to Texas. Apparently you reward this kind of flattery with one of the most revered postings in the US - a seat on the Supreme Court.

Um, Mr. President, I think you rock! ...and I'd really like a tenure-track position at Harvard!

PS: For our non-English native readers, cronyism can be defined as "favoritism shown to friends and associates (as by appointing them to positions without regard for their qualifications)" [and it can be translated in French by "copinage"].
