White House counsel Harriet Miers has never served as a judge before, and while this career "hard-nosed lawyer" (as she is invariably described) from Texas certainly deserves some kudos for a trailblazing career as a female lawyer, she's not a legal scholar, either.

But she does know better than just about anyone else where the bodies are buried (relax, it's a just a metaphor...we hope) in President Bush's National Guard scandal. In fact, Bush's Texas gubenatorial campaign in 1998 (when he was starting to eye the White House) actually paid Miers $19,000 to run an internal pre-emptive probe of the potential scandal. Not long after, a since-settled lawsuit alleged that the Texas Lottery Commission -- while chaired by Bush appointee Miers -- played a role in a multi-million dollar cover-up of the scandal

1. Yup...here comes the "Chimpy the deserter" scandal all over again...

PLUS she's smack dab in the middle of the Tom Delay scandals....

PLUS she's an unqualified crony like "Brownie"...

PLUS she's got her own scandal at the Texas Lottery Commission...

PLUS she was the one who actually read the "Bin Laden determined to strike in the US" memo to Chimpy on August 6, 2001....

And that's just what we know after one day of digging...

Plus the far right wing hates her and loudly said so...

If I was Harry Reid, I'd kiss her on the lips....

2. Our research here is counter-productive

Everything we can find that outrages us will only sell her to the other side.

She's a Bush hack, a crony, inexperienced and incompetent. That's all we need to know. This issue should be DOA.
