Maybe the White House counsel staff really was distracted the week Harriet Miers was tapped by the President for the Supreme Court.

No, they weren't distracted by grand jury testimony or questions about the Hurricane response. They were too busy accusing the Onion of using the Presidential Seal as an implicit endorsement of their newspaper. (Never mind that the seal is used on a page that makes fun of the President every week.) I'm glad the Commander-in-Chief's crack legal team jumped right on this one. Anybody with more time than me and some familiarity with Wayback want to see how long they were using the Seal before the White House noticed?
