You're cool, court nominee told Bush in private letter 
George Bush's already uphill struggle to put his nominee, Harriet Miers, in the supreme court got harder yesterday with the publication of personal correspondence that added weight to charges of cronyism. Notes that Ms Miers sent to Mr Bush in the late 1990s, when he was Texas governor and she was his personal lawyer and the head of the state lottery commission, range from deferential to fawning.

The release of the private correspondence by the Texas archives came at the worst time for ...

Bush approval dips below 40 percent for first time; tens of millions in US still deluded The remaining 30+% who are still proud to say they approve of Bush would love him even if it were commonly known that he ate babies for breakfast (which he virtually does anyway). Those folks remaining that still adore their silver-spooned "cowboy" either take the Bible 100% literally, with Jonah living inside a whale and all, and therefore border on psychopathology with their magical thinking, or they are so greedy as to be complete sociopaths with zero regard for others....

There is more than a little resemblance to a battle of scorpions in a bottle—both in terms of the narrow confines within which this conflict takes place, and in the intellectual and moral stature of t...
