Wow!
Reason and sanity?
I fear the end of the world is nigh. ;)

"Or maybe he remembered how the hardest-working person in the White House found time to prepare the will of a terminally ill 27-year-old colleague, and to spend nights and mornings staying with her and praying with her. "
My office cleaning lady is also hard working and compassionate. Thank God she doesn't work at the White House or she'd be a Supreme Court nominee.
How did your heart get so cold?
This author may have uncovered the axe Frum has to grind with Miers. How many times were his speeches sent back to him covered in red?
Was he offended that a "mere" SMU graduate was questioning the the writing of an Ivy League wordsmith. How dare she?
Wow!
Reason and sanity?
I fear the end of the world is nigh. ;)
Nahh. Me, neither.
Thank you for posting this article. I look forward to watching the hearings. It sure takes a bite out of flip-flop Frum's statements.
You just keep saying what I feel..Thank you and again.. Amen!
Sorry but we can't. NYT is now excerpt-only.
No need to sell her to the John Q. Public's....just to the pack of wolves called the U.S. Senate.
You have Freepmail.
I find it most interesting, as has been pointed out by more than one Freeper here, that Fund may well have given us all the real reason that he is so intent in sinking Harriets "ship".
"It is true that Harriet Miers, in everything she does, gives high attention to detail. And the trait came in handy with drafts of presidential speeches, in which she routinely exposed weak arguments, bogus statistics and claims inconsistent with previous remarks long forgotten by the rest of us. If one speech declared X "our most urgent domestic priority," and another speech seven months earlier had said it was Y, it would be Harriet Miers alone who noted the contradiction."
That would beg the question ... Would a forensic expert find sufficient Whitehouse carpet fibers on Mr. Fund for a jury to find him guilty of being called on that same carpet so many times that it resulted in his being dismissed? And would it be remotely possible that Ms Miers did the dismissing?
Nah ... I didn't think so. ;)
Good grief. That must've kept Harriet franticly busy...
but it makes me wonder why Dubya would ignore her.
"This lady is no Souter."
My sentiments exactly. Everyone is saying: "We don't know that much about her." So what? Look how much we knew about Souter and O'Connor and what disasters they turned out to be.
I truly believe this lady is a person of integrity, loyal to her values and principles. That's a prized commodity in Washington, D.C.; the nation's bastion of political whores who are accustomed to selling out to the highest bidder. I guess the Bill Kristols of the world would have been happy had The Prez tapped Tom Delay for the SCOTUS.
Give me a break!!!!!
I believe all would be better served watching, listening and learning from the hearings.
A few elitist "Conservatives" and a slew of leftists? Now that's another thing. ;)
That is odd. I click on it and I get the entire page.
Hmmmmm ... Could it be that I have a "stealth" computer? ;)
