Is it just me or is there something "close" about the */Miers closeness?

"You are the best governor ever - deserving of great respect!" she wrote in 1997, in a belated birthday note that was typical of the tone she used in her correspondence with then-Gov. Bush.

<...>

Bush responded to her birthday wish in kind, and included a humorous, if baffling, postscript. "I appreciate your friendship and candor. Never hold back your sage advice," he wrote. "P.S. No more public scatology." Whether Bush was referring to Miers' rough-and-tumble time as chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission or something else isn't clear. Scatology refers to "the study of or preoccupation with excrement or obscenity," according to Webster's dictionary.

<...>

" It's a personal relationship, but it's based on a very professional business working relationship. She calls him `sir' and `Mr. President,'" Francis said. Asked if the two were friends, Francis said: "I think they have a friendship, but it's based on a professional relationship. It's obvious that he likes her and she likes him. If that's a definition of friends, I think the answer is yes. But they're not buddies."

Indeed, Miers oozes with deference and awe in her letters to Bush. In a 1995 note, she thanked Bush for a visit and called a ride in a plane with him "Cool!" When she wrote Bush a thank-you note for meeting with a lottery job applicant in 1997, she wrote, "You are the best!"

Sounds like a lot of explaining and emphasizing they are "professional" and it's a "professional relationship".

Sounds to me more like Miers was all school-girl giddy over the moran.

Sounds like an AOL kiddie: "OMGHI2U! You, like, so rock! You're like totally cool! I <3 U!"

:D

3. I agree.

I know what you are saying and I picked up on that too, almost immediately. There's a little too much talk about how "close" they are, with a little too much follow-up that it's "strictly professional." It feels like someone is laying the groundwork for something that might come up that "looks bad," but of course was -completely- innocent.

Uh huh.

4. Sounds to me like she is a very ambitious woman who was using..

flattery to further her public career. She was not very subtle or smooth about it but it worked.
