Hardee Har Har-riet

As if the Harriet Miers nomination wasn't a joke already, The New York Times dug up some e-mails from Miers to Bush in the nineties. Here are some excepts:

"You are the best governor ever - deserving of great respect," Harriet E. Miers wrote to George W. Bush days after his 51st birthday in July 1997. She also found him "cool," said he and his wife, Laura, were "the greatest!" and told him: "Keep up the great work. Texas is blessed."

The notes to Mr. Bush date from at least March 1995, around the time he named her to the lottery commission, the files show. On March 25, on the letterhead of her Dallas law firm, Locke Purnell Rain Harrell, Ms. Miers wrote to thank him "for taking the time to visit in the office and on the plane back - cool!"

In October 1997, Ms. Miers sent Mr. Bush a flowery greeting card in thanks for a letter that he had written on her behalf. In it, she said of his daughters: "Hopefully Jenna and Barbara recognize that their parents are 'cool' - as do the rest of us."

Sounds like a thirteen year old girl with a star crush. It looks like whoever is witing the Harriet Miers blog has truly captured her writing style. This nomination doesn't deserve mockery, it demands it. This woman is clearly a dope, and the fact that James Dobson is assured about her shows that he puts his Christofascist agenda before that of our country.

Oh well, we will find out soon enough if Miers being best friends 4 ever with Bush will be enough to seat her on the bench. For Miers and Bush that would be 2 good 2 be true.
