An Interview With Harriet Miers' Pastor

My Texas correspondant has sent me a link to a radio interview with Pastor Ron Key, Harriet Miers' former pastor in the Dallas area. The pastor makes a pretty strong case that Ms. Miers' is not only a dedicated Christian, but a strict constitutionalist as well. Given all the screaming headlines on Drudge today about Miers' supposed support for civil rights for gays and lesbians, this interview might calm a few conservative pounding hearts.

You can find the links to the radio interview here at the blog of the show's host.

UPDATE: Drudge is now running this item which is sure to put a chill up the spine of the lefties everywhere:

MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN

By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, had accomplished what some people take a lifetime to achieve. She was a partner at Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely, one of the most prestigious law firms in the South.

But she still felt something was missing in her life.

The NEW YORK TIMES is set to splash the "something" on Page Ones on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

It was after a series of long discussions with Nathan Hecht, a junior colleague and sweetheart, that led her to a decision that many of the people around her say changed Miers life.

"She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger part of her life," Hecht said. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," to accept Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, Hecht said. Miers became an evangelical Christian and began identifying more with the Republican Party than with the Democrats who had long held sway over Texas politics.

I wonder if Harry Reid is still going to like her after hearing this.
