Emily Miller -- remember DeLay's mob in Florida 2000?
DU researchers, what kind of thug is Emily Miller?

Remember the rent-a-mob that stopped the recounts in Florida? The GOP staffers flown in to pose as citizens and make chaos? What was Emily Miller's role in that?

"This was not a threatening band of armed thugs," said DeLay spokesperson Emily Miller, referring to the raucous demonstrators who stormed the Miami-Dade elections department. "They were idealistic, enthusiastic, young Republicans who felt they were being shut out."

3. Well, well, well, what a coincidence. A repuke spokesperson who lied
about the recount now trying to censor television interviews of government officials.

Little missy needs to be brought down a peg or two. Maybe this is the one that will do it. I notice her former employer, DeLay, has been pretty low key lately.

Please God, please. In your infinite goodness and mercy, let us be rid of these criminals come November.

Feel free to pray to whomever or whatever you want, but that's my daily request.

4. It could be that Powell set her up
He didn't have to mention her name on camera.
Maybe he wanted to get rid of his minder.

6. Terrific Research!!
I bet the Bushies put Emily on Powell as a watchdog.

He is ready to spill his guts, & they have to prevent that at all costs.

7. the question remains...
...why is she nannying Powell? Why is he allowing someone with her background to sit in interviews with him?

How many times already have the thugs interfered with Powell or others who might wish to speak out?

Is one of them ALWAYS with him?

Is this symptomatic of something much deeper? Is Powell imprisoned in the manner of a totalitarian state?

And who else is being nannyed?

8. and....
.....who got her that job?

Who?

Who?

She's not a career state department employee.

And it doesn't appear that she would have been hired by Boucher, who is a Clinton holdover, I think.

Are these thugs planted everywhere by DeLay?

13. in all fairness
Robert Wexler has a Stephanie listening in on his interviews with Randi Rhodes-could be the norm BUT-that being said this Emily sounds like one of Little Joe's minions(as in Goebbels)

9. Good research
This lady is keeping an eye on Powell. Are the repugs worried about Powell spilling the beans. It is going to be fun to watch the press focus on Ms. Miller.

12. She Came from DeLAY ----*and*----LAZIO!!!
What to expect? Add to that her background in media------when THOSE go into bureaucracy as "media experts" they are self-important klutzes, have their small-head-media-hats on and screw up BADLY. Is she on suicide watch now?

********QUOTE********

.... Emily Miller, a former press secretary in the leadership office, has been named communications director to the majority whip, one of five changes in his press office.

Miller, who was press secretary to then-Rep. Rick Lazio (R-N.Y.), came to Capitol Hill from television news.

She had been an associate producer for ABC News’ “This Week” and “Good Morning America,” and a production assistant in NBC News’ Washington Bureau. A native of Baltimore, Miller is a graduate of Georgetown University. ....

14. Anybody have that famous photo from the 2000 Florida recount
with all the Republican operatives 'protesting' in the recount building, trying to shut down the count? I remember there was a version of the photo with each person identified...maybe she was in it...

18. Just a bunch of idealistic thugs, er Pugs
I wonder how many of them were registered to vote in Florida? Odd that the governor would allow that kind of lawlessness to go unpunished . . .
