Harriet Miers Accompanied Bush on 9/11?
Why did he give a speech an hour later at a known location?
Why wasn't he picked up and whisked away like Cheney?
Did the Secret Service know he wasn't a target?
If you do a quick search on 'Harriet Miers', or listen to much liberal talk radio right now you will constantly hear the term 'cronyism'. Cronyism is pretty readily visible in the Bush administration, especially when looking at those who were in a position of importance on 9/11. Some quick examples of this include George Tenet from the CIA receiving the medal of honor and Richard Myers becoming the Chairman of the Joint Cheifs of staff, both of which were in positions of power (and failed miserably) before and during 9/11.
Who else was promoted after failing on 9/11?
I am somewhat sure that this image of Bush at the Booker Elementary school on 9/11 has Ms. Miers in the background. If this is indeed Harriet Miers then perhaps this, along with the many other articles on cronyism associated with Miers, helps paint a clearer picture showing that those who don't ask questions and keep their mouth shut for this administration will get put into great jobs they could only hope to aspire to, even if their qualifications are laughable. ('Your doin' a heck of a job Brownie!')
Is this Harriet Miers? Does it matter?
While Miers accompanying Bush on 9/11 may be nothing at all I do think it is worth noting, and I am somewhat curious as to how often Miers, Bush's personal lawyer, accompanied him, especially to minor photo-ops at an elementary school.
What else was she connected to?
Here are a few links about Bush and the elementary school on 9/11 (please feel free to submit more):

If someone could provide a more hi-res image of this I would appreciate it, otherwise drop some tidbits of information while we wait for the indictments to come through.
.. special thanks to someone pointing this out to me ;)
EDIT: Yep, it is her, you can find a statement from her about 9/11 here:
