I wondered why they thought it was necessary, i.e. why they thought it necessary to exercise that right every day or two. At least, as I said, THIS time they removed the lie that Laura Bush only had three staffers. Why did they lie the first time, and now why do they re-post it without the lie?

Here are the salaries of 15 for Laura Bush. Hillary had about 20 staff also. Some positions are sort of “both” and it depends on how you want to count them; but “unprecedented” this is not.

And I wonder why they want to keep this out there, what possible purpose does it serve to obsess about such a meaningless nonentity as the First Lady?
