From WorldNetDaily:
For the moment, George Bush can stop worrying about where Harriet Miers stands on abortion. The larger question is soon about to be an even messier one: How exactly does Ms. Miers fit into the never-ending George Bush National Guard controversy and the Texas Lottery pay-off scandals? Here we go again.
Ms. Miers, it turns out, plays a questionable role in Texas Lottery scandal involving Rhode Island gaming company GTECH, at whose center was none other than consultant Ben Barnes, the man credited with getting George Bush into the Texas National Guard – the same Ben Barnes who figured prominently in the forged documents story that brought Dan Rather down from his lofty chair as CBS News anchor.
Worse yet, Ben Barnes turned on George Bush. Barnes and his network of cronies were reputed to be the third-largest campaign-contribution club backing John Kerry in his 2004 presidential run. So, by nominating Harriett Miers to the Supreme Court, President Bush has re-opened the Texas can of worms.
