Blog Babes

I thought this was pretty funny. CNN:

JACKI SCHECHNER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Kyra, we thought this was interesting. Yesterday we show you on the SMU Web site how all of Harriet Miers' published information was online. People going to check it out. We went today to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission where the latest correspondence came from.

They are not posted online over there. We spoke to somebody. They don't plan on putting them up either. What the are doing is releasing them freely to the media, and it will be up to media organizations like CNN and others to release them as they see fit. But we thought it might be interesting to check out and see if they were online. Just for your information, they're not. What is online is blog reaction as you might imagine. And because we don't have much information about Harriet Miers, these are the things we have to go on from the Carpetbagger Report, they're venturing into unseen hero worship territory with this correspondent saying things, like, do you imagine they wrote BFF in each other's yearbooks?

Also from Gally Slaves quoting things like, "you're the best governor ever," saying they're worried by the fact she put quotes around the word cool. Something that was pointed out by Josh Marshal at Talking Points Memo, we would be remiss if we didn't mention it, it sounds a lot like the Harriet Miers parody blog. This has been circulating around the blogosphere for some time now. It was awfully silly and we didn't know that we were going to show it to you.

But the correspondence that's come out now is very similar in tone to this, things like I've always been 111 percent for President Bush going down to the bottom and saying in case you're wondering, PS, I won't ever-change I promise. PPS ever, ever. So it's awfully juvenile but not that different in tone from some of the correspondence we are seeing coming out today.
