First Draft of Harriet Miers' Withdrawal Letter Found - Page 2

Author: ProgressiveDepot — Published: Oct 27, 2005 at 5:38 pm 14 comments

I share your commitment to everything and anything you might be committed to, and I think I've made that clear appointing judges with a conservative judicial philosophy, and I look forward to hopefully still having some sort of job continuing to support your efforts to provide the American people with more proposals that will kill their will to live and allow us to crush them under our mighty wheels judges who will interpret the law, not make it. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have seen myself on TV a lot have served your Administration and this country.

Most respectfully,
Harriet Ellan Myers Miers

    Know why this worked?

    • It wasn't partisan.
    • It included jokes everyone could not help but laugh at, such as the spelling of her name.
    • The strikeout effect is da bomb rather effective

      Indeed, I laughed out loud, and I'm ambivalent about Miers.

      Suss is right: it was the non-partisan light-handedness that made this piece work so well.

      Bravo!

      This is very funny. My favorite line: "...my long career as your number one fan..." I had been thinking of writing a parody of "Misery" where Miers played the Kathy Bates character and Bush played the James Caan part.

      Ooh! Can I send this to Snopes and pretend like I think it's a real letter,and see if they'll print it as "False"?

      Thanks for the love. Was going to do a sequel on Scooter's resignation letter, but thus far have not seen it come out in public.

      Oops, screwed up my URL. Way to mess up being an Editors' pick, eh?
