I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true.

I like how she "wondered" how a lifeguard and surfer could afford the multiple million dollar mansions and month-long stays at the Ritz Carlton while working part-time as a PR flack. Please. (This is from the WSJ article, which seems a bit less lurid than the above link.)

Interesting that she's the former State Department staffer who tried to cut off the NBC interview of Colin Powell a while back.

Also, she's actually kinda cute:

The link you provided has the best quote form the WSJ article:

Quote:
In 2001, while Miller was working as press secretary to DeLay she told a reporter who was writing a profile about DeLay. "You lied! . . . You betrayed him! You twisted his words! . . . We don't know you. You don't exist. . . . You are dead to us."
How do you get engaged to the person who said this to a reporter and not anticipate her completely killing you when you dump her?

But yeah, I'm a little sceptical - as is the WSJ, given the number of times in the story they point out nobody thinks she did anything wrong - about how it didn't occur to her to wonder about how he came up with all this money until after he called off the wedding.

The other lesson for us all: if you get divorced and then come into a lot of questionable cash, start throwing a bit of the money the way of your ex/kid, or expect to answer a lot of uncomfortable question in front of a judge at a child support hearing.
