Exactly. I think of retirement or congratulations for your new job cards that we often pass around at work for signing by everyone.

You know that several of the comments are either over the top or not really meant at all but it is expected of you to say something along those lines.

With Harriet Miers comments I am sure she meant them or at least the sentiment of them and probably if she wrote the card the next week she may have phrased certain sentences slightly different or used different punctuation. Often when we write cards we express the emotion and mood we are currently in be it happy, sad, optimistic or down in the dumps.

And I'm remembering all the cards I've signed for people I don't even know, the ones passed around for church group or in class. No one's gonna say, "You're a pretty good governor but I know some better." It was a birthday card! Not a critique of his political career.
