Wonkette Finds More on Harriet Miers
My apologies if the formatting is a little screwed up here. I'm trying some new things...
That's right, Wonkette has dug up some information on Miers, but it's pretty small stuff. She really doesn't seem to have any experience on the bench, and I'm wondering if Bush only selected her because she's female and inscrutable. At this point, I wonder if she's even going to understand the questions that will be asked of her. From Wonkette:
- She has dated Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht "over the years." [NOTE: Absolutely no other article online mentions this fascinating fact.]
- She's nit-picky micromanager who failed upwards at the White House: "She failed in Card's office for two reasons," the [former White House] official says. "First, because she can't make a decision, and second, because she can't delegate, she can't let anything go. And having failed for those two reasons, they move her to be the counsel for the president, which requires exactly those two talents."
- Not even the president can think of much interesting to say about her: In 1996, at an Anti-Defamation League Jurisprudence Award ceremony, Bush introduced Miers as a "pit bull in Size 6 shoes," a tag line that has persisted through the years, in part because colorful anecdotes or descriptions about Miers are notoriously difficult to find.
- We're not even that excited about her being gay.
And man, is Bush looking old or what? Geez...
