Don't know if anyone already posted this article, but this sentence caught my eye. Wow. She's a twit.

To Sir, with Love
By Maureen Dowd
The New York Times

Wednesday 12 October 2005
W. was the best Harry ever had.

"You are the best Governor ever - deserving of great respect!" gushed Harriet Miers, then the Texas Lottery chief, to George W. Bush in 1997. The belated birthday card she sent her boss with a sheepishly eager puppy poking his head up and a poem that read: "This is the wish/That should have been sent/Before your birthday/Came and went."

According to a cache of mash notes released by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission in response to formal requests from The Times and other news organizations, Ms. Miers also told W. that he was "cool" and "the best!"; that he and Laura were "the greatest"; that Texas was "in great hands"; and that the governor should "keep up the great work. Texas is blessed."

1. Just forwarded
to me by a friend....

:rofl: Mo hits it on the head.

Harriet should be embarrassed and ashamed and withdraw immediately. If by some slim chance she is approved, she will be the butt of jokes by every late night comedian for years to come. She is a disgrace.

2. It's Satire, BTW
Harriet Miers is a twit, but she didn't write that line in your header. The first two paragraphs are really her writing, the rest is Modo's.
