Judith Miller Gets a Visitor

Posted on August 17, 2005

So what do you have to do to score a jail visit from UN Ambassador John Bolton? Ask Judith Miller, the jailed New York Times reporter, because only she knows what she did to land such a high-profile visit. Arianna Huffington broke the news of the intimate tete a tete.

According to a trusted Judy File source, Bolton recently took time out of his busy schedule to pay a jailhouse visit to Judy.

No word on what they talked about.

Maybe they swapped notes on Pat Fitzgerald (Judy: "He really got mad when I wouldn't tell him what he wanted..." Bolton: "...and they say I�ve got a temper!"(laughter all around))

Or maybe they just talked about old times, when Bolton was reportedly a regular source for Miller's WMD and national security reports.

Just two potential Plamegate sources shooting the breeze.

Meanwhile, Bob Dole writes an editorial in the New York Times about how we need a federal shield law (sensible position) because Judith Miller is such a hero for not naming her source (nonsensical position). As Arianna said in a later post:

No matter how many times you say it, covering for an illegal government leaker out to smear someone's reputation for political reasons, is NOT the kind of "free press" we are trying to export to "the rest of the world."
