Sewall-Belmont House draws fire for honoring Laura Bush

Not everyone is happy to see the Sewall-Belmont House, a museum dedicated to advancing women, give its highest honor to former first lady Laura Bush.

Twenty-two women, including former members of the museum’s board, have penned a letter to the museum in protest of Bush’s selection for the Alice Award, as first reported by the Washington Post. Sonia Pressman Fuentes, co-founder of the National Organization for Women, led the charge.

“When I read that the award was going to be given to Laura Bush, I felt as if I’d had a sudden onset of Alzheimer’s,” she told Yeas & Nays. “I couldn’t believe my eyes.”

It’s not Bush’s political affiliation that she objects to, Fuentes insists. “It’s not partisan,” she said. “I’m not complaining that she’s a Republican. I’m complaining that she’s never done anything for women to get this award.”

Fuentes adds that she wouldn’t give President Obama or the first lady an award either. “Both he and his wife have disappointed me in terms of women’s rights,” she said.

“Here you have a woman who was a brilliant attorney,” Fuentes said of Michelle Obama. “She’s just published a book about how to garden.”

Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Jenna Bush Hager: The Generations Award
They are Women of the Year because: “They are giving a voice to women who otherwise might not have one. They personify the belief that every woman’s life has potential.”
—former Secretary of State and 2008 Woman of the Year Condoleezza Rice

Being a famous lawyer is obviously a requirement for writing a book about gardening.

Would any publisher have been interested in Michelle's book if she were not the First Lady?

How many cases did she win as a brilliant attorney?

“Here you have a woman who was a brilliant attorney,” Fuentes said of Michelle Obama

Who was, essentially, disbarred. Brilliant? Like to try that one again?

These second class women citizens need to shut up.
