And this is what happens.

More news on Miers – she worked with Girls Inc. (yes, that Girls Inc.) at their Dallas chapter in 1987.

The notoriously antigay American Family Association of Mississippi recently launched a campaign indirectly targeting Girls Inc., which it called a “pro-abortion, pro-lesbian advocacy group.” Girls Inc., on its Web site, has defended its mission and dismissed the “false, inflammatory statements from people who are pursuing a narrow political agenda.”

Questioned about Miers’s past involvement with the group, Tim Wildmon, president of the AFA, said it was not an issue. “That’s been so long ago,” Wildmon said in a telephone interview. “I don’t think that factors in with her current situation. It was 18 years ago; people change, organizations change.” The American Family Association has neither endorsed nor opposed Miers’s nomination. “We’re still in a wait-and-see mode,” Wildmon said in anticipation of confirmation hearings next month. “We’re trying to do more homework on Ms. Miers.”
