Best Governor Ever?
Not sure if anyone caught the article on CNN.com about Ms. Harriet Mier's gushing admiration for George W. Bush. It makes me think she may be in love with him....
The comments almost made me lose my breakfast this AM (these were all dug out of past correspondence that she had with W):
In a birthday card to him, she noted that he was "the best governor ever!"
In another document she hoped that the infamous Bush twins realized how "cool" their parents are.
While reading the article, I was really shocked at how gushing and school girl like some of the quotes were. Poor, poor Harriet, if she had only gotten to W before that awful librarian, Laura.....
Anyway, watching the whole nomination play out has been so frustrating. The religious right is in an uproar as it is not 100% clear where Ms. Miers stands on issues critical to the functioning of the country - i.e., abortion and gay marriage. With the absence of any written documentation regarding her views, they take hope in the fact that she "found the Lord Jesus" many years ago and became an evangelical Christian. Since when does religious background make someone qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice?
My boyfriend always reminds me that the vast majority of Americans are in the "center" in regard to politics and the past few years a minority has tipped the pendulum to the far right. He seems confident that someday, the pendulum will move back to the center. We can only hope he is right.....
PS - I guess my "groveling" in regard to comments paid off, as I received my first a few days ago! : )
