Miers's love notes to Bush were a hoot, but take a look at her speeches!
In Speeches, Miers Heaped Praise on President
By David G. Savage, Times Staff Writer


WASHINGTON — Critics have poked fun at the effusive greeting card messages that Harriet E. Miers used to send to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush and that have become public following her nomination to the Supreme Court.

The glowing remarks were not limited to greeting cards, according to the texts of recent speeches and other public remarks released Monday by lawmakers....

***

"President Bush's vision, his discipline and relentless dedication, his hard work and his likability have made it possible for all of us in this room to participate in the great enterprise we know as the United States," she told a group of White House interns in June....

***

In one speech, she spoke of Bush's little-known talent as an editor. "All those editing skills, and you would think the president was a lawyer himself. He works so constantly. We'll keep an eye out and make sure he does not start keeping track of his billable hours," she told the interns. "Time and time again, it seemed, the president was able to zero in on the most difficult aspect of an issue and provide exactly the direction needed. Guess that is why he is the president."

She also spoke of how Bush hugged relatives of a soldier who had been killed in Iraq.

"This is a scene I will never forget for the selfless caring and value and sacrifice it depicted. So much of what is great about America is wrapped up in one big hug."

9. I would have to say the woman is head of the Kool-Aid subsidiary of BushCo
Is she off her bloody ass kissing boot licking sycophantic gourd? She and Condi are going to end up in one of those Dynasty style cat fights if Harriet does not back off Condi's man.

2. What sacrifice did Bush make by hugging a grieving relative??
Bush is like Jim Jones and these women who worship him are brainwashed.

8. She was with him on Sept. 11th, 2001...
She said, "The nation witnessed a resolute, determined, strong leader who swiftly responded to the challenges our country faced..."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Stop! You're killing me here!!!

That's not what the part of the nation who saw Fahrenheit 9/11 & watched those seven minutes in the classroom saw.

You'd have to be less sentient than a toaster
to not see that Mier's only purpose on the court is going to be protecting Dubya if/when the hounds close in. She could spend the rest of her time scribbling with crayolas for all he cares.

10. What the hell does his supposed "likability" have to do with ability?
"President Bush's vision, his discipline and relentless dedication, his hard work and his likability have made it possible for all of us in this room to participate in the great enterprise we know as the United States," she told a group of White House interns in June....


Good lord. Do people really say and believe this crap? his "hard work?" :eyes:
What hard work, what likability, not to mention discipline and vision? He has none that I know of. She's not a lawyer , she's a fucking cheerleader.

13. If you tell enough lies, and repeat them often enough, they become true
"Bush is likable"

Oh really? If he is so likable, how come conservatives have to keep reminding me of that fact? Shouldn't people be able to see that on their own.

Or is it: "Bush is likable. Of course he is. You're just too much of a jerk to realize it"
