I am obsessed with this woman.
I don't know if I owe this to my hatred for Bush or my elitist streak, but I can't stop bitching about her. Miers can't write for shit. Some excerpts from her monthly Texas Bar Journal columns in the 90's:
''We have to understand and appreciate that achieving justice for all is in jeopardy before a call to arms to assist in obtaining support for the justice system will be effective. Achieving the necessary understanding and appreciation of why the challenge is so important, we can then turn to the task of providing the much needed support.''
''An organization must also implement programs to fulfill strategies established through its goals and mission. Methods for evaluation of these strategies are a necessity. With the framework of mission, goals, strategies, programs, and methods for evaluation in place, a meaningful budgeting process can begin.''
''When consensus of diverse leadership can be achieved on issues of importance, the greatest impact can be achieved."

For those of us who don't write so gud, maybee you can explain what is wrong with each selection?
Active voice. Her sentences overlay abstraction upon abstraction.
But writing in the passive voice is how you can sound learn-ed, even if you aren't! Strangely enough, my usage of the passive voice was highly rewarded in 9th grade English.
Wayne: You do well enough now without it.
