Judy Miller

After reading The NY Times article about the jailing and subsequent testimony of Judith Miller, and her own recounting of the events surrounding the situation:



Yesterday upon the stair

I saw a man that wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
How I wish he'd go away.

Judy Miller is an embarrassment to her profession. This is a terrible situation for both The Times and for her because (as Stein famously said) after all the furor, all the melodrama, all the pretension and posturing there was no there there.

Miller may go down as the most annoying icon, and most conveniently forgetful public figure since Ronald Reagan.
