You're cool, court nominee told Bush in private letter

George Bush's already uphill struggle to put his nominee, Harriet Miers, in the supreme court got harder yesterday with the publication of personal correspondence that added weight to charges of cronyism.

Notes that Ms Miers sent to Mr Bush in the late 1990s, when he was Texas governor and she was his personal lawyer and the head of the state lottery commission, range from deferential to fawning.
In a typical example, she wrote: "You are the best governor ever - deserving of great respect. All I hear is how great you and Laura are doing. Texas is blessed."


After an engagement at which Mr Bush signed an autograph for a girl, Ms Miers gushed: "I was struck by the tremendous impact you have on the children whose lives you touch." She said he was "cool".
"I appreciate your friendship and candour," Mr Bush wrote back.

The release of the private correspondence by the Texas archives came at the worst time for Mr Bush, as scepticism over Ms Miers spreads in Republican ranks. The Washington Times reported that nearly half the party's senators remained unconvinced about her suitability.

3. She's got her Dubya poster on the wall

Dubya wallet pix and a Dubya Fan Club Autographed Gavel to pound the shit out of liberal principles.

:loveya: Dubya...he's just "the most" :loveya:

11. She has probably practiced writing

"Harriett Bush", "Mrs. Harriett Bush", "George and Harriett Bush" over and over again on the front of notebooks. Perhaps dotting the "i" with a little heart and doodling flowers all around the signatures.

12. Hey, you're good

you didn't do that kind of thing once upon a time, did you? Hmm? ;-)

14. Who me????

Never on the notebook cover - I won't discuss what might have been on an inside page.

5. A Groupie for the SCOTUS

COOuhl.

Have faith boys and girls. When will we get the endorsement from Tammy Faye Baker?

4. Please forgive me if this sounds sexist...

As a woman, I have to say that she has a crush on Bush, or they have a relationship of some type. She sounds like a blathering schoolgirl when it comes to him. Makes you wonder about her stability... not just because of her taste being so dreadful, but that a woman who is supposed to be a professional, is acting in such an immature and flippant fashion.

8. She's a suck up and George likes it.

She's an answer to his prayers.

[merh]

9. Or maybe she is a very manipulative person who knows just

the right spots on the ass to kiss. (Sounds like ass kissing that she knows the weed would react positively to. It is so his speed. "you are so cool!" :rofl: )

She could simply be a sycophant of the highest caliber. :shrug:

Of course, whether she is a manipulative sycophant or a school girl with a crush, she lacks the qualifications to sit on the SCOTUS.

6. She couldn't be more nauseating if she tried, she sounds like a....

teeny bopper star struck girl, not a candidate for the Supreme Court. bush sure has made a tremendous impact on children whose lives he touched, specially the almost 2000 dead soldiers.

7. yep,

Miers almost loves * as much as * loves himself.
