The Harriet and George Love Letters

Wednesday October 12, 2005
"You are the best governor ever," Harriet Miers gushed in a note to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush on his 51st birthday in 1997. She also told him he was "cool." The Harriet and George love letters, first reported by the New York Times, can now be viewed online, courtesy of The Smoking Gun.

Life Imitates Satire
The fawning notes Miers wrote to Bush sound as if they could have come from the Harriet Miers parody blog that sprung up last week, which calls itself "The blog of the #1 smartest President ever's #1 pick to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court!"

The parody blog Jesus' General, meanwhile, has uncovered another note that could be worrisome for Bush officials.

Speaking of cronyism, Bill Maher lays down a new rule about Bush's "crony baloney," saying that it's time for Bush to "expand his circle of friends beyond his mom, Karen Hughes and the House of Saud." Watch the video or read the transcript.

"Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers told the New York Times that George Bush was the most brilliant man she ever met, which is kind of scary. She only has one known opinion, and that's it." —Jay Leno
