Musical Chairs: Welcome Back, Harriet
There was much speculation about where former White House counsel Harriet Miers, of the ill-fated Supreme Court nomination, would wind up.
Would Miers oversee the George W. Bush Presidential Library at her alma mater, SMU? Would she be nominated to the Fifth Circuit? Would she launch a new line of high-end eye make-up?
The suspense is now over. From the Dallas Morning News:
Ex-White House counsel and U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers will rejoin her old law firm, Locke Liddell & Sapp, the firm announced Wednesday.Ms. Miers had helped run the firm, based in Houston and Dallas, before joining President Bush's staff in 2001. She will rejoin the firm's public policy group and litigation group on May 1.
A Locke Liddell official said she will be based in Washington D.C. but also have offices in Dallas and Austin.
Congratulations, Ms. Miers!
(But why is she staying in D.C.? Why not return to her home state of Texas, home to her former lover, Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht? As we previously suggested, "If she returns to Texas, she may be able to stir the embers of his passion.")

lat, thanks for making me throw up after implanting the image of Myers stirring someone's embers. *shudder*

L2L, if Harriet Miers and Monica Goodling can make it, so can you. Also, out of curiosity, are you a guy or a girl?

L2L is obviously a guy. women are unable to be quite as obnoxious, unremittingly annoying and persistent as he is (score one for females)

Loyola, without prying . . . how's your resume? Decent class rank and whatnot?

This has all been discussed before but top 20%. Good resume except for the name of my law school. Looking at $15/hour and paper cuts this summer as a firm's file clerk.

For all we know, Loyola 2L could be any number of people all posting under the same name

What, you people don't like that I got my old job back? Not ALL the unqualified Bushies got to keep their jobs (until they were caught engaging in questionable behavior, that is - talking to YOU Monica!). I had to fade away...only to RETURN TRIUMPHANT as an over-paid hack who offers NOTHING in a professional capacity to her employer.
(L2L, I'm pullin' for ya! Come join us at Locke Liddell - we're obviously idiots with no standards)

Awesome Ms. Meyers! I'll mail my resume first thing tomorrow.

There has got to be more to this...I make near 6 figures in my first career and will be going to law school to change careers. Is it really this hard to land a job??? BTW, getting my BS now, so it will still be a few years.
