Harriet Miers -- Supreme Court Nominee, writes about Bush the way teenagers of my era fawned over Bobby Sherman -- who like Bush, stuffed his codpiece.

From the NY Times:

"You are the best governor ever - deserving of great respect," Harriet E. Miers wrote to George W. Bush days after his 51st birthday in July 1997. She also found him "cool," said he and his wife, Laura, were "the greatest!" and told him: "Keep up the great work. Texas is blessed."

Gawd, she makes Peggy "Two-fingers tonight or Three?" Noonan* editorials on Reagan sound positively reserved.

Some other choice quotes slobbery hummers from Harriet:

"Texas has a very popular governor and first lady!" She recalled a little girl who collected Mr. Bush's autograph and said, "I was struck by the tremendous impact you have on the children whose lives you touch."

Yes but it was a "bad touch".

On March 25, on the letterhead of her Dallas law firm, Locke Purnell Rain Harrell, Ms. Miers wrote to thank him "for taking the time to visit in the office and on the plane back - cool!"

"Hopefully Jenna and Barbara recognize that their parents are 'cool' - as do the rest of us."

Jeebus, she writes like someone who needs a restraining order, let alone deserves a Supreme Court appointmet.

UPDATE: And in the "comedy writes itself" category comes this added bit of info that the "Times" CHOSE not to include, but Knight-Ridder does:

After her birthday wish, the first statement discussed above, Bush wrote back to Miers:

"I appreciate your friendship and candor. Never hold back your sage advice," he wrote. "P.S. No more public scatology."

WTF?

From the man who wrote the book for shit-eating grins?

What kind of juvenile reprobates are these people?

Oh, and EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
