Harriet Miers a no-show; vulnerable to contempt charges.

You know, I've never been a Harriet Miers fan, but you've got to admit, she's having a rough decade.

My regard for her would go way up if she were to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and if she were to begin her statement (thick magnolia-mouth drawl): "Well, Senators, it's not exactly the hearing I had in mind -- but thanks just the same."
