Judith Miller with NY Times editor Bill Keller

Few remember now but before scandal swamped the dinghy of Judith Miller‘s career — before she wrote all those later-proven-false stories for the New York Times in which she prosecuted the government’s case for going to war in Iraq, and before she went to prison rather than tell a judge t’was not-so-soft-core porn novelist and Dick Cheney chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby who told her the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame, and waaay before she emerged from prison to be, er, fired by the Times — well, few remember that before all that, Miller, the wife of renowned publisher Jason “I Invented the Paperback” Epstein, was the co-author of a mega-bestseller, Germ: Biological Weapons and America’s Secret War, which won lots of critical acclaim (including, oh, one or two glowing reviews in the New York Times). So how does a previously esteemed journalist and author redeem her reputation after such a battering? According to this Reuters wire story, Miller has taken a job with Fox News. Gawker, meanwhile, has more fun with the story, and tells you how to send a congratulatory note to Miller to boot.
