The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reports that disgraced New York Times reporter Judith Miller will be joining Fox News, in an announcement expected to be made today:

Fox News is expected to announce today the hiring of a new contributor, a veteran national security correspondent who has shared a Pulitzer Prize.

Miller will be an on-air analyst and will write for Fox's Web site. "She has a very impressive resume," says Senior Vice President John Moody. "We've all had stories that didn't come out exactly as we had hoped. It's certainly something she's going to be associated with for all time, and there's not much anyone can do about that, but we want to make use of the tremendous expertise she brings on a lot of other issues. . . . She has explained herself and she has nothing to apologize for."

Recently, Miller has written for Reader's Digest and taken a job with the Manhattan Institute, a conservative thinktank.

Figures. First Glenn Beck, now this. She is a disgrace to humanity, let alone her chosen profession.

Which of course makes her perfect for Faux News.

1. For all the Powell haters....

..here's where you should target all your vitriol.

[NeoConsSuck]

26. Neither one deserves

a 'Get out of Jail' card.

But hey, thanks for letting me know what I should or shouldn't be posting!

7. Here's an American Traitor

do anything for her political party, even commit treason to her own country for that corrupt political party of hers.

[iamahaingttta]

8. I have a friend who worked at the New York Times...

...at the time of Miller's incarceration.
He worked in the photo department, retouching photos before publication, if I'm not mistaken.
Presumably, most of the people in that department are youngsters, Photoshop savvy types.

Anyway, when word came down that she had been taken to jail, the department erupted in cheers and applause.
Naturally, management was not happy about that...

[Faygo Kid]

11. Yeah, I have read that she is personally a pretty repellent figure.

Highly disliked; all about herself.

She and Dick Morris should get along great.

9. She's been pro-Bush twice in a MAJOR way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Miller_ (journalist)






Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948), is an American journalist. Miller, based in Washington D.C., was a prominent New York Times reporter with access to top U.S. government officials. Her coverage of these officials, especially regarding the Bush administration’s conclusions about Iraq’s alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Program and her involvement in the Plame Affair, made her a conspicuous media personality. The work that Miller and Michael Gordon did in presenting the case for WMDs has been proven false. The New York Times apologized publicly for their poor reporting. Ms. Miller lost her job over these reporting blunders though Mr. Gordon has remained a reporter for the New York Times. Miller announced her "retirement" from The New York Times on November 9, 2005.

In July 2005, Miller was jailed for contempt of court for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating a leak naming Valerie Plame as a covert CIA agent. Miller did not write about Plame, but was reportedly in possession of evidence relevant to the leak investigation. According to a subpoena, Miller met with an unnamed government official — later revealed to be I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff—on July 8, 2003, two days after former ambassador Joseph Wilson published an Op-Ed in the Times criticizing the Bush administration for "twisting" intelligence to justify war in Iraq. (Plame's CIA identity was revealed in a column by conservative political commentator Robert Novak on July 14, 2003.)

Libby's Letter to Miller: I Miss Your Reporting

Today's must-read is the exchange of letters between Libby, Miller, their lawyers and Fitzgerald, available on the New York Times site here. (PDF http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/nat_MILLER... )

Your reporting, and you, are missed. Like many Americans, I admire your principled stand. But, like many of your friends and readers, I would welcome you back among the rest of us, doing what you do best – reporting.

You went into jail in the summer. It is fall now. You will have stories to cover – Iraqi elections and suicide bombers, biological threats and the Iranian nuclear program. Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work – and life. Until then, you will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

[endarkenment]

22. Well, flacking for the Bushistas IS rather impressive to Faux News.

Luckily, for her, she isn't weighed down by a record of honest journalism.

[truthisfreedom]

27. Bottom feeders.

Dregs.

[TerribleLarryDingle]

28. Human waste belongs in the sewer

She'll make a great fit at FAUX.

[lunatica]

29. YOU WANT TO TALK KARMA?!?!

I'm willing to lay bets that prissy little Mis-information Judith Miller feels she's fallen a long way from her gilded tower at the New York Times. She probably sobs drunkenly into her wet pillow every night. I bet she's eaten plenty of crow having to accept a job with the lowly, lowly, scummy, revolting FOX NEWS! She's gone from the most prestigious Newspaper, the Newspaper everyone takes their cue from, to the bottom of the barrel, FOX NEWS. A dirty piece of tv rag if there ever was one.

Oh this is so karmically perfect! She gets to swap having high class lunches and being on the A-list on all social events and being the envy of journalists everywhere and being intimately chummy at the highest levels of government with an inside into secret information to FOX NEWS! FOX NEWS! LMAO!!! Doesn't anyone else get the sweet sweet irony of it all? She has fallen about as far as a person can fall without becoming homeless. And she'll have to rub elbows with liars, screaming scum, the Religious Right, the Whacko Liberal haters, the decidedly looney alternate universe knee jerk assholes who swoon over Palin in over-excited paroxysms of red hot lust! The 'lady' is going to get so soiled! She's going to have to wipe the spew of others off her face after every show.


It couldn't happen to more deserving gal....

[robinlynne]

30. That's actually funny. Now are we going to put her in jail with Bush when

the war crimes tribunals start?

[SoCalDem]

31. Looks like the chickens are all coming home to the coop

Beck..and now Mz. Judy

She'll be a perfect fit.. she likes to make shit up..and they do too

[IndianaGreen]

32. Resume includes stonewalling the Plame leak investigation, and her Chalabi fed WMD stories

Best thing about Judy, when she went to jail for withholding evidence, her husband left on a cruise. What does that tell you about her?

[lib2DaBone]

33. Faux News Follies....David Brooks, David Gregory and Tom Brokejaw next

[PassingFair]

34. What, no executive position for her at Carlyle?

They pay their minions WELL.

*uckers.

[Generator]

35. The chickenshits ARE coming home to roost

[Pauper]

36. She was working for the right-wing Manhattan Institute

After leaving the New York Times.

[nam78_two]

37. Hopefully a sign that no one else wanted her.nt

[raysr]

38. Get 'em all in one

place and then, and then, along comes John, doofus ugly John.

[kskiska]

39. Same could be said about Ayers

"We've all had stories that didn't come out exactly as we had hoped. It's certainly something he's going to be associated with for all time, and there's not much anyone can do about that, but we want to make use of the tremendous expertise he brings on a lot of other issues. . . . He has explained himself and he has nothing to apologize for."

[Skittles]

40. "Repuke Whore" should be front and center

[lligrd]

41. Sad, I Thought She Couldn't Go Any Lower

But she has proven me wrong.
