Miers: From Supreme Court Nominee To Pakistan Lobbyist
Harriet Miers, former White House counsel, one-time Supreme Court nominee and current partner at Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell, can now add lobbyist for the Pakistan People's Party and the Embassy of Pakistan to her resume, according to documents filed with the DOJ earlier this month.
In May of this year, Locke Lord Strategies signed a one-year $900,000 agreement to lobby for the Embassy of Pakistan. On her foreign agent registration short form, Miers listed the "Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Asif Ali Zardari, Co-Chairperson of PPP and his children" as clients. The group's ongoing work lobbying for the PPP continues on a pro bono basis.
In case you're wondering if this has anything to do with the current events in Pakistan, The Blog of Legal Times has your answer:
What does President Pervez Musharraf's resignation mean for Locke Lord? Probably not much. The firm has represented Asif Ali Zardari, the leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party and an opponent of Musharraf, since March, when the firm was retained to promote democracy and pressure Pakistan's government to investigate former PPP head Benazir Bhutto's assassination.
America has all the bases covered. bushie is muggun with mushie and harrietta is kissin up to mushie's opposition. Just keep the money comin, caus that is the only staple our goverment knows.
And who gave them that kinda money in the first place? The american taxpayer, in the form of military support?

Major operatives from the Republican party -- including the presumptive nominee's chief foreign policy advisor -- are on the payroll of foreign governments situated in volatile regions of the world. Here's one question that should be asked over and again: Where does the loyalty of such people lie, to their employers or to the American people? Hey, Barrack, GO GET 'EM!!!!

Locke and Lorde! A little dab'll doo her.
Lucky for Harriet she got Borked by her own party because Supreme Court justices only make $208,100. I bet Ozzie wishes he was still around to share the wealth.
