It's funny.
Cheney headed the search for VP's and Mier's headed the search for Justices.

A CNN talking head said it.
ok, i ll google...
"Ironically, Ms. Miers headed the White House search committee for Supreme Court nominees and ended up being the nominee. It's reminiscent of how Dick Cheney was asked by presidential nominee George Bush to seek out a suitable vice-presidential candidate and ended being chosen himself."

"Much as he did when he chose Dick Cheney as his vice president during the 2000 campaign, Bush tapped the head of his search committee -- in this case, Miers, a longtime loyalist -- as the candidate to succeed O'Connor, who is retiring."
