But she does know better than just about anyone else where the bodies are buried (relax, it's a just a metaphor...we hope) in President Bush's National Guard scandal. In fact, Bush's Texas gubenatorial campaign in 1998 (when he was starting to eye the White House) actually paid Miers $19,000 to run an internal pre-emptive probe of the potential scandal. Not long after, a since-settled lawsuit alleged that the Texas Lottery Commission -- while chaired by Bush appointee Miers -- played a role in a multi-million dollar cover-up of the scandal.

1. Maybe that was the deal all along.

4. This shouldn't be sinking, unless it's a dupe.

If Miers was involved in scrubbing Resident Coke Jaw's TANG history, this is a big deal.

5. Kick, all information about this nominee should be looked into

there has to be a reason * would nominate this person...either it is "they protest too much" or there is genuine concern all around..Freepers, religious wing nuts are not too thrilled with this pick either...makes me wonder if this is a smoke screen to cover over the upcoming news of Plamegate or paybacks for a job done in the past.
