Using the 15 minute rule, how many minutes does Judy Miller have left?
In response to Maureen Dowd’s explosive Times column, titled “Woman of Mass Destruction” in which Dowd wrote that she “always liked Miller” but that Miller should have been kept on a “tight editorial leash,” the now former award-winning reporter shot back at Dowd, claiming that the column was full of holes.

Dear Maureen, I’m glad you always liked me. But in the interests of journalistic accuracy at a very sensitive time for The Times and for me, I wish you had checked some of these damaging assertions about me before you printed them. If you had, there are seven specific mistakes you could have avoided. As important, you could have avoided creating a false and damaging impression that I had tried to cover up for a crime, or that I had convenient memory lapses at the behest of the administration.

Miller also scooped the Times by posting her farewell column on her website before it appeared in the Times’ Thursday editions, where it is scheduled to run in the 'Letters to the Editor' section instead of the Op Ed page which Miller originally demanded. Miller said she intends to continue lobbying for a federal shield law for reporters, and plans to keep writing about the subject for which she received an unprecedented amount of criticism.

“In my future writing, I intend to call attention to the internal and external threats to our country’s freedoms – Al Qaeda and other forms of religious extremism, conventional and W.M.D. terrorism, and growing government secrecy in the name of national security – subjects that have long defined my work,” she said.

8. She'll squawk until someone gives her a job.
If she's lucky, Faux will hire her. If her shark is biting her in the tush, she may very well get offered a clerical job with Halliburton or Carlyle.

10. Naah, she'll be on Faux Snooze.
If she can speak even on a rudimentary level, that's where she'll wind up, probably as a recurring character on one of their sitcoms like Hannity and Colmes.

11. time for memoirs
Baghdad Judy Bares All

Most successful project in her future non-credible state of suspended animation where she can still chit-chat about WMD and 'those subjects that have long defined her work'

Plan B -- Retire to the shitake mushroom farm of choice

12. Warhol's maxim didn't anticipate the 24-hour news cycle. >
Now, as long as you can keep "reinventing" yourself, you can hang around indefinitely.

So, no.

13. yeah she might try that reinvention trick
it'll be ghoulish--a real tarting up of the corpse...

I keep imagining the 'afterlife' of Jim & Tammy, or OJ Simpson, or Dubya and Laura...etc etc many examples of serious bad resurrections...

14. I don't remember who said it or the exact quote, but,
"I don't care what you say about me, there is no such thing as bad publicity, just spell my name right."

With the continued recycling of worthless conservative new hacks, I really believe this is true.

15. The Aspen leaves are turning.
Edited on Thu Nov-10-05 09:29 AM by NNadir
I have no idea what that means, but I've heard that this phrase is a code for "OK, to get out of jail, you can 'fess up that you are the official propgandist for the Republican War Party at the New York Times."

Tens upon tens upon tens of thousands of people killed or maimed, the honor of the United States destroyed, a once great newspaper reduced to the status of a fallacious political phamphlet.

This, I would say Judy, is enough to cap any career.

Her 15 minutes were far too long. Imagine what she would have done with 20 minutes.

16. well ... if it starts fading ....
there is always the Playboy pictorial ....


.... but... Hugh Hefner has a tighter editorial control than NYT so I guess he won't make his readers nauseous like NYT did with Judy Miller.

18. Unfortunately, her 15 minutes will probably be extended soon
by her "talking head" show on Faux.

I have no info for it, but doesn't it seem likely?

You're discredited, fired, and generally shown as a shill for the Repukes. In Fox standards, that's a glowing resume!
