AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 10 - "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."

Ms. Miers, President Bush's personal lawyer and his selection for a Supreme Court seat, emerges as an unabashed fan in more than 2,000 pages of official correspondence and personal notes made public on Monday by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission in response to open-records requests.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[aoi tsuki]

i have nothing worthwhile to add other than the fact that i imagined Will Farrell playing Bush, who was reading the letter to himself aloud.

:lol Awesome.

Looks like Condi has some competition.

Mr. Bush added: "When it comes to cross-examination, Harriet can fillet better than Mrs. Paul. I know first-hand. She is my lawyer."

:lol

Oh, George.

So wait, is the fact that she's his friend supposed to discount her as a selection?

I don't really try to look into how these things work, as I put my faith in the government to weed out bad eggs, but I don't see how her being friends with him would make her less of a selection. If she's got whatever other qualifications are needed, how is this a problem?

And I'm not trying to flame or anything, jusy honestly curious. So if someone could respond to me in a very clear cut manner without having to go into Bush/conservative bashing, I'd appreciate it.

She's got that whole "oh fuck I'm gonna dive into cock" look on her face.

I dunno, it just seems odd to me. When Bush is out of office, he will (might) have a person on the Supreme Court who thinks he is the most intelligent person she has ever met (Doesn't that in itself seem a little odd?) and will probably do anything for him, like maybe throw a decision his way.

Seems odd to you? No, my friend, that line of thinking is completely and totally fucking normal. Don't forget that.

Looks like SOMEONE has a crush!

The problem is that she has exactly zero experience has a judge, plus the fact that she's very close friends with the President. It's akin to the head of a company putting his former college roommate to the head of the line for VP even though much more qualified people are vying for the job.

lol, who do you date that looks like that right before the dive?

oh I know I was just responding to Ecrofirt.

This devil's advocate broke.

Please replace.

Re: Miers

...a pioneer when it comes to the law

:lol :lol

Peep that annoying shit he does with his jaw. Probably what shrinks look for when someone's lying their ass off.

 

[Incognito]

That stupid jaw twitch of his is absolutely hilarious. Only topped when he grinds his teeth, stares into space, then starts wailing uncontrolably after being asked a "tough" question.

"Don't you see, I know this lady's heart. Her heart, where her character lies. I've stared deep into her eyes, Larry David style, and found nothing worrisome."

"But does it bother you that she was a democrat, donated to Al Gore, and even as recently as 2000 donated to Hillary Clinton's election campaign in New York?"

"Sigh... *twitch*.... I've looked into her heart, and God was on my shoulder helping me in my selection, understand?"

:lol

Amazing, isn't it? Doesn't is scare the fuck outta you, though? Although ultimately, it just makes me very sad.

Looks like Condi has some competition.

And she doesn't look happy about it...

Bring it on bitch!

 

[Incognito]

Condi's taken, guys. FoxNews played matchmaker for her the other day.

MR. ROSEN: I think it's outrageous, frankly. All right. I close with a gift for you. You met this person once, I believe, but you really, I think, ought to know each other because this woman is, I think you'll have an interest in knowing her. She is one of our FOX News anchors in New York. Her name is Lauren Green. She is brilliant, she's beautiful, she's African American, she's single and she's a concert pianist in her spare time.

SECRETARY RICE: My goodness.

MR. ROSEN: And she asked me to give you her CD and I promised her that I would.

SECRETARY RICE: That's perfect.

MR. ROSEN: And here's her doing a number of different classical pieces.

SECRETARY RICE: Well, that's special.

MR. ROSEN: So there you have it.

SECRETARY RICE: Thank her very much and I look forward to seeing her sometime.

MR. ROSEN: All right. She's going to want to hear from you.

SECRETARY RICE: And maybe even playing dual piano sometime.

MR. ROSEN: That would be great. Thank you, as always.

SECRETARY RICE: Thank you.

Yes, that's real.

CNN has another article up:

In 1997, Miers sent Bush a belated birthday card featuring a sad-looking dog and the note: "Dear Governor GWB, You are the best Governor ever -- deserving of great respect!" She added, "At least for thirty days -- you are not younger than me."

Bush's birthdate is July 6, 1946; Miers' is August 10, 1945.

Bush wrote back to wish Miers a happy 52nd birthday, telling her that he appreciated her friendship and to "never hold back your sage advice." He ended with a postscript: "No more public scatology."

WHAT?!

 

[DarienA]

:lol :lol :lol
CNN has another article up:



WHAT?!

1 : interest in or treatment of obscene matters especially in literature
2 : the biologically oriented study of excrement (as for taxonomic purposes or for the determination of diet)


Uh......

 

[bob_arctor]

No more public scatology, eh? Maybe this translates to: "Damn girl, get off my shit in front of all these peeps!"



Nah, he's so dumb he can't even be ghetto.

 

[bob_arctor]

Semi-related, but not really:

Love the last quote in the article

Or maybe Miers is an exhibitionist who is more than willing to indulge Dubya's fondness for Cleveland Steamers.

 

[distantmantra]

Bush's birthdate is July 6, 1946; Miers' is August 10, 1945.

Well, that's just great. First it was Nicole Bass, now I have to share my birthday with Harriet Miers?

 

[Ecrofirt]

Thanks you the good reply.
