WASHINGTON — When Harriet E. Miers sat down Sunday for supper with President Bush in the private quarters of the White House, she had an influential ally at the table: Laura Bush.
Twice this summer, Mrs. Bush had publicly expressed the hope that her husband would name a woman to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court.

Before the dinner of fried shrimp, polenta and chocolate mousse was over, the first lady's wish came true. Bush's nomination offer to Miers brought to a surprising end a professional courtship between the president and his White House counsel that he launched discreetly less than two weeks earlier.
"I don't think this was something that she expected," said White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. "She was not seeking this out."
Indeed, Miers was among the top White House aides who were vetting potential candidates for the court, and her name was put forward by an unusual source — the leader of the Senate Democrats, Harry Reid of Nevada.
On Sept. 21, during a breakfast meeting with Bush and other senators, Reid suggested that Miers would make a good nominee, citing his favorable impression of her during the confirmation process for the new chief justice, John G. Roberts Jr.

If Reid likes her......"there must be a pony in there somewhere!"

It was patheic when Hillary influenced policy as First Lady and it is just as pathetic now.
LOL
Actually if Reid was the first to throw out her name, and she is as conservative as the White House says, then it works in our favor. How can Reid now come out against her.
I agree. I respect and admire the Bushes, but this is just silly. As much as I like Mrs. Bush, we didn't elect her.

I don't like this nomination, and this chatty little story does nothing to make me like it more. On the other hand, I don't like or trust the LATimes, either. Where did they get these details? A bug in the White House?
Another wonderfully informative fact chocked article laden with pejorative,vague and calculated innuendo
imo
Not trying to be mean or disrespectful to the President, but I wonder if the First Lady had a say in this one?
Well, as long as Laura's happy. < /sarcasm >
No good republican, loyal and true, would ever look for a pony in this setup.
RATS support her? What do they know that We the People don't?
Yeah, but there's a contradiction there. We'd better hope it's Reid that's wrong.
I didn't vote for Laura. Did anybody else?
What are the odds that Reid know more about her than the White House?
Not yet.
Laura helped Bush on his way up. Anything wrong with listening to her views and opinions on important issues?
No more so than listening to Hillary's views on healthcare, I suppose.
