The Dallas Morning News has a story today on a speech given by White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Dallas Bar Association. Former bar association president Darrell Jordan introduced Miers, and called the criticism of her Supreme Court nomination "vitriolic," "unfair," and "shameful."

  Miers responded to Jordan's comment with a joke: "I think I needed you out in the blog world."
