The timeless art of flattery
The Los Angeles Times highlights Harriet Miers' skills at 'sucking up' to higher-ups. The Times' words not mine.
Once again, my thoughts turn to Adorno, whose analysis of the 1953 LA Times horoscopes focused at one point on how one had to be consistently flattering and stroking, feeding and nurturing the infantile higher up. Harriet Miers took all that to heart and added a few X-ian flourishes regarding Bush's rule as governor: "Texas is blessed!"
