HARRIET 4 JUSTICE.(Harriet Miers)

Last week in this space, readers learned about a feature on the official White House Web site titled Ask the White House, an "online interactive forum where you can submit questions to Administration officials and friends of the White House." On four occasions in 2004, in her dual capacity as an Administration official and F.O.T.W.H., Harriet Miers sat at a keyboard and fielded questions from the public. How, for instance, did President Bush manage to play horseshoes with his Scottish terrier, Barney? (Harriet Miers: "Metal horseshoes are too heavy for Barney to lift, so he doesn't carry them around.") Also:

Karrin from OHIO writes: Where were you on September 11th and what did you do?

Harriet Miers: Karrin, I was traveling with the President on September 11, 2001. So I started out in Florida. I was the President's Staff Secretary at that point in time. . . I was responsible for making sure the remarks he prepared to give to the Nation from Louisiana were properly prepared for him. It took some time, and the President saw me hurrying to give them to him. He said, "Good hustle!" He made me feel good that I was contributing. Typical.,

It seems that after her elevation to White House Counsel, Miers was no longer eligible to participate in Ask the White House. And, of course, since her nomination to the Supreme Court she's been too busy (not to mention, evidently, under a gag order). Fortunately, however, a blogger who writes under the pen name "Harriet Miers" has also stayed busy, posting several times a day at a Web site called Harriet Miers's Blog!!! ("The blog of the #1 smartest President ever's #1 pick to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court!") Like any blogger, "Harriet Miers" has good days and less good ones:

So today I was just thinking . . . serve five or six years on the Bench . . . I could get promoted to Chief Justice . . . and then from there I could go ANYWHERE!! I can write my own ticket! . . . Also, today's my one-week anniversary of being a Supreme Court nominee! Happy anniversary to me!!

ABORTION, No, I never talked to the president about it . . . he's MARRIED, people!! There's no way there ever would've been a need, EVER . . . the rumors are a load of BS (Baloney Sandwich)!, JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING, Does anyone have any good recommendations of general books on Constitutional Law, history of the Supreme Court, etc.? THANX!!!

"Harriet Miers," whoever, wherever she (he?) is, declined a request for a telephone interview but did agree to have an Instant Messaging conversation (buddy name: dallasharriet44).
