WIP (WITHDRAW IN PEACE), ME, NOMINEE 10/3/05 - 10/27/05
Thanx reader GS for this quote.
"Its better to have been nominated and withdrawn then never to have been nominated at all"
- Unknown, adapted (obv)
Update, reader HH sent this, it means alot to me.
And it seems to me you lived your nomination
Like a candle in the wind:
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
Goodbye Texas Rose,
From a country lost without your soul,
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know.
Like a candle in the wind:

Goodbye Texas Rose,

Thank you so much to everyone whose writing.

Oh my dear Harriet, I am so sorry those meanies got the better of you.
I just wish that I could be there to give you a great big hug and hug the hurt out of you. :-( (sniffle, sniff)
Oh, say it ain't so! Make the pain stop! (sniffle, sniff...)
love

Harriet, even though its hard to see now, your really the winner of this fight.
If those stupid "senators" had half the integrity you have, they would have stepped down LONG AGO.
You shouldn't have to be the martyr here, but you are and that's how you'll be remebered.
You go, girl!!! and don't you ever forget that!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
There go our late night encounters on the bench. I won't be able to use my toys with Thomas or Scallia, either.
This makes me a sad panda. :(
Well, girlfriend, there's still a lot you can do. You can always become a legal analyst at Fox News. :)
*sniff*
I will miss you. Talbots' clothing has always been a real turn on for me.

Not "then." No wonder you are unfit to be a Supreme Court justice.

From C-Kraut's text editor to Bush's and your ears eh, Harriet?
You got a tough break, H. Keep your head up. At least, you have the comfort of knowing that you will get to stay near and dear to the home and hearth of the BEST-PRESIDENT/GOVERNOR/PHONY COWBOY/BASEBALL TEAM OWNER/FAILED OILMAN/LOUSY STUDENT/DRAFT DODGER/PAMPERED RICH BOY-EVER.
Stay well.

Always the bridesmade and never the bride! Now you have to vet the nominee to replace you!?
Oh, cruel, cruel world.
Im so sad for u Harry, my itty bitty heart may stop its little pitter patter.
:-(
:-( (100 sad faces, u get the effect without me doing that, right?)
(.. oh, could u tell the next nominee what a gr8 clerk i would have made for u so that i can still work there? let's not have the situation be a total loss, right?)

Hi! I just want to say that I'm sorry! You didn't deserve it! And I really think that Bush SUCKS 4eva for accepting your withdrawal on your first attempt! I mean! Rummy got at least three chances! That! SUCKS!!!!
We'll miss your legal acumen! *SOB!!!*

Dave,
we understand that youre a big lib or whatever so you're all psyched that HM had to withdraw but do u really haf to come here and bug her and whatever? nobody cares that she said "than" or "then" or whatever when she's STILL the #1 most best qualified judge or whatever even tho she had to withdraw!! your just jealous so STFU.

Since you're resigning, does that mean you, like, can pick the next nominee? Seems only fair. And I think you're really smart and would've looked lovely in robes, Ms. Miers...

hmmm .... OK, my time is coming. I know it.
girlfren, please support me now that you've been dumped.
I'd write more but those senators are gonna want to see all my writings and I want to keep a little bit back, keep 'em interested. cuz having secrets is WAY intriguing.
now, let's get organized for tonight's sleepover.

Hey wait a minute, there is something that we CAN do here: how about starting a "call you're president and renominate Harriet"???
Hey, we can do this!

Harriet, oh Harriet,,
You're withdrawal is such a national tragedy, I mean totally. Theirs nobody they could nominate who would be as good as you. If W nominates that a**h*** Mike Luttig I'll just barf!!

Y'all've done the right thing for our dear friend and fearless leader. It was in the best interest of the USA and Mr. Bush.

so sad really so goddammed sad.
you seemed like such a sweet ass kisser.
i thought for shizzle you'd be perfect for the court's clerk job.
i mean you would still sit on the bench and wear all the silly robes and stuff, but behind the scenes you would take notes and do legal research for the boys and girl.
for that the supreme court lost today.

Harriet. Har-ri-et. Hardhearted Harbinger of Haggis.
What can one say that hasn't been said? It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, we laughed, we cried. We'll always have incomplete questionnaires.

Oh, Harriet, you know how the song says, "Only the good die young?" I think they mean, "Only the good get their nominations withdrawn." Remember, no withdrawn SCOTUS nominee is truly alone as long as she has friends, and you have tons of friends.

Mac said…
No Worries Harriet. Bush can nominate you to a circuit court now, you can build a reputation, and perhaps elevate you once you have built a record, especially after that old crusty Stevens leaves the Court (He's 85 and Pat Robertson is "praying" for him) Just like your Senate questionaire....unsatisfactory the first time around, but they gave you a second chance. Perhaps you'll get another one here ;)

just because you didn't turn in your homework on time is NO reason to drop out of school!
And what's with the black????? Bring back the upbeat perky pink blog we all know and lurve.
I'm off to the CVS to find just the best card I can for this occasion. It will have an UPBEAT theme because every time a door closes a window opens. Opportunitees abound!
Start lining up you're speaking engagements NOW. Your going to be hot in the spring when it comes to graduation time, I'll bet.
Maybe you ought to phone Anita Hill or something. She'll cheer you up and tell you how your lucky you don't have to work with that C. Thomas guy.

Harriet. Harry-ette. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis. Beautiful, bemused, bellicose butcher. Un-trust... ing. Un-know... ing. Un-love... ed? "He wants you back," he screamed into the night air like a firefighter going to a window that has no fire... except the passion of his heart. I am lonely. It's really hard. This poem... sucks.

Harriet,
OMG!!!
Your sooooooo gonna be missed. How will Bush ever find another nominee with you're qualifications?
Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

just pixels said…
At least you have enough character to admit your nomination was a mistake (his, not yours). If only certain other people in the government could do the same. Imagine if those certain other people could look us in the eye and say, "no WMDs, my bad" or "I cut taxes too much, so cut ME some slack" or "I know I promised to restore honor and dignity to the Oval Office, but sorry, no can do."
BTW I know for a fact I imagine that nice David Souter is kinda sad you aren't going to be "carpooling" to the office. Give him a call. You'll both feel better.

Hey, what is with all of the down faces? Ya'll are acting as if it is over.
Over? It is over when we say it is over! "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"(**)
Let's start a 'call you're president" campaign to renominate Harriet!!!
(**) said by the future Senator Bluto...remember the film?

Harriet, sweetie, daaaahhhhling!
I know this may seem like a set back, but truly dear, your future is the path less traveled… I'm just happy to have traveled down the road with you for our brief time together. And just think, just like Bork, who came out from under the rock he was living to speak out against your nomination, you'll have carte blanche (that's like a blank check, luv) to say whatever you want about any Supreme Court nomination from now on. You will live on…
With hugs and kisses,
Tami DeTruth
PS: Now aren't you glad that you didn't quick your day job.
PPS: We're still on for cookies and milk tonight.

I have to say that so far you are the only thing I have supported President Bush about since I voted for him in 2000. I am sorry to see you go, but since I have suffered just serving on the local council in my small town and I understand your decision. I wish you the best and expect to still be able to read your blog every day.

just you wait harriet, just you wait. after the democrats filibuster president w's next nominee, all those nasty gop senators who said all those nasty things about you are gonna see what an awful mistake they made. they'll be crying out, 'please mr w won't you nominate harriet again, please, please.' and he will, because that's the kind of firm, decisive leadership our president is known for, and then you'll become the associate justice after all, i just know you will!
