Miers wanted Jenna & Barbara to "recognize their parents as cool"
Records suggest warm relationship between Bush, Miers
Supreme Court nominee called Bush 'the best governor ever'

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers told George W. Bush in a 1997 birthday card that he was "the best governor ever" and, in a separate note to her boss, said she hoped his twin daughters recognize their parents are "cool."

The communications between Miers, who served as chair of the Texas Lottery Commission, and Bush, then governor of Texas, tell the story of a very warm relationship.

Bush faces criticism that he chose Miers for the high court because of their close friendship.

The correspondence with Bush was among thousands of pages of records released Monday by the Texas state archives from Miers' record as chair of the Texas Lottery Commission from 1995-2000.

9. I really do think she harbors a secret crush on him
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 10:45 PM by holboz
Although now it's not really so secret. All of these gushy-gushy letters are far from professional and remind me of the sappy things I used to write in my diary when I was 13. Not about Bush, of course...my eyes were on a cutie in my science class. Oh, how many times I wrote that he was the "cutest boy ever!" or "the coolest boy ever!".

Do you think Harriet keeps a journal about *? I can imagine it now:

"Dear Diary,

Prez Bush nominated me for SUPREME COURT JUSTICE!!!!!!!!! OHMIGOD! I nearly died!! I think he's finally noticed me after all these years!!!!!!!!! He's just the coolest guy EVER. I get all giddy when I see him and I'm soooo worried I'm going to say something stupid and look like a massive dweeb. He's just waaaaay cool and I totally can't believe this is happening!! Maybe there's hope that he'll dump Pickles and ask me to the next big Washington shin-dig. OHMIGOD how cool would that be if he asked me out??!!! AAAAA!

Harriet
p.s. Did I mention that Bush is the COOLEST GUY EVER?!"


Sigh. NEXT NOMINEE, PLEASE.

4. would Republicans support impeachment if we were to find out
that Bush and Miers had sexual relations.

what if one of the senators were to ask Miers during confirmation hearings "did you have sexual relations with Bush" ?

6. I read that as "Hanna Barbera"
and I was thinking there was a forthcoming cartoon with bad animation and crazy voices telling us chimp and pickles are "way cool parents!"

Featuring the voice of Casey Kasem, natch!

10. She sounds like a real suck-up
Telling Bush's daughters that their parents are "cool" is obviously meant for Bush's consumption. I have a feeling that anyone can get anything out of Bush by simply courting him, like a King in his Court. It involves telling him he's cool, he's intelligent, and he's great. Miers has parlayed a career of unflagging flattery of Bush into higher and higher level positions.

15. Exactly!
He loves suck ups.

But call him or any male member of his family a wimp and you're off the Christmas card list pretty damn fast. I think the media could incur his wrath and a public meltdown if they started using THAT W word.

19. Har,can't wait for Bush to go ballistic when her nomination fails......
She's one of the best of the best when it comes to Bush boot licking and thats all he really cares about. Her experience--er,lack of experience means nothing to Bush. All he cares about is loyalty,he'll go off the deep end when this idiot nomination is laughed out of the hearings.

20. What semi-senior citizen uses the word "cool" with a straight face?
I'm guessing she's as clueless about constitutional law as she is about language.

26. Let's all close our eyes
for moment and imagine if this had been Clinton. The uproar! The scandal! These letters are widely inappropriate. It's always amateur night at the White House with these clowns.

29. Ms. Miers. Exactly what does Mr Bush's intestinal tract taste like?
(a) fresh, daily shit,
(b) manna from Heaven, or
(c) previous glosses of Mr Rove's lip gloss

31. didn't Jenna say her dad "isn't half as cool as people think"?
And maybe Georgie was pouting about that, and Miers lied her face off to put him in a better mood?
