Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good," Heinz Kerry said. "But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things."

Heinz Kerry said she sees her age as a benefit — she is 66 and Bush 57. "I'm older, and my validation of what I do is a little bit bigger — because I'm older, and I've had different experiences. And it's not a criticism of her. It's just, you know, what life is about," she said.

Oh, okay. Haha. She tried to do the "didn't want to stay home baking cookies" thing, like Hillary, it blew up in her face, like it did with Hillary.

Hey, maybe Hillary put her up to it. "Theresa, you just say something about how, unlike Laura Bush, you actually WORK for a living doing important stuff, and *your* husband supports that. That'll help John with the women's vote. Trust me."

But what is this "my validation and her validation" sh!t Theresa is rambling about? Validation?
