"Laura is this fantastic, nice, Marian-the-librarian-type who was curled up with a cat on her lap reading Dostoevsky"
I'll bet Laura shoots better than Dowd. Mo has no knowledge of Texas Girls and she should back off before she is handed her head.
Laura Bush IS nice, quiet, classy and does read extensively, including Dostoevsky and much more. Lots of people own cats! So WHAT!!
Ya gotta problem with that, Maureen Dowd? What do you want to see instead - an illiterate, loud-mouthed shrew with a vicious dog at her side in the White House?
