Anyone remember Harriet Miers?
According to an article from the HuffPo columnist, Melinda Henniberger, Harriet got her job by writing effusive letters to Dubya exclaiming his 'coolness' with exclamation points. "Texas has a very popular governor and first lady!" she wrote, in one of the many fan letters she sent George W. Bush in the years since he named her to the Texas Lottery Commission in 1995. "Hopefully,'' she said in another note, "Jenna and Barbara recognize that their parents are 'cool' - as do the rest of us." Job seekers everywhere stand in awe.
But now Dubya is preparing for the new Democratic majority to start questioning his dubious honesty and credibility and he needs a good lawyer. So Harriet, who was once good enough for the Supreme Court, is not good enough to defend Dubya from charges that he is not "cool".
I leave you with a few 'Bushisms' to tickle your funny bone:
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." —Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2000
"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." —to a group of Amish he met with privately, July 9, 2004
"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it." —Philadelphia, Penn., May 14, 2001
"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption." —Trenton, N.J., Sept. 23, 2002
"I'm the commander — see, I don't need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." —as quoted in Bob Woodward's Bush at War
I'm sure my dear friend Mrs. Astor will agree that anyone this dumb should be fed to the alligators.
