The Harriet and George Mutual Admiration Society

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has released some of Harriet Miers's correspondence, and while it does little to illuminate her ideas about the Constitution, law, or other matters of weight, it does shed some light on her relationship with the Prez. In a card for W's 51st birthday, she wrote, "You are the best governor ever--deserving of great respect." He responded, "I appreciate your friendship and candor." No kidding. If that's what he takes as candor, no wonder he thinks she'll be a brilliant jurist.
