You doing OK, MS B?? I miss you!!!
"But God forbid they should become a policy adviser like Hillary or Rosalynn Carter," says Burrell. "We still have a huge problem in this country with women and power. Simply put, we don't like women either wielding power or being proximate to it."
Really? I don't. I object to power-HUNGRY women who abuse their positions or use them as a bully pulpit to promote socialism.
And don't kid yourself...Laura has the President's ear. ;)
Oh pullllleeeeeeeeeeese . . . .what's Condi Rice then? Chopped Liver?
She's mad because the women SHE wants aren't in power. Get over it.
Laura knows that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
It's all about Laura's Texas accent. I love it! She "sounds" like me.
Hitlery was never 'first' lady. Last, but not first.
These people are sexist/racist lunatics.
And that's putting it nicely......
(But I like her, anyway. ;o)
"...says Burrell. "We still have a huge problem in this country with women and power. Simply put, we don't like women either wielding power or being proximate to it."
Dr. Rice...meet Ms. Burrell. There now - ya'll talk amongst yourselves.
:o)
No, we don't. We easily accept women who get power by their own efforts.
What we don't like is women (or men) who manipulate the people who have power so that what we get is not what we voted for. hillary is the most egregious example, but people disliked Nancy Reagan when they thought she was manipulating her husband. And a lot of people were upset to think that Karl Rove was the one setting WH policy for W.
The smiling adoring look President Bush gave Laura just before the speech said it all.
I thought the article was a good gauge of at one non-American's lack of understanding about Laura, and the people who love her.
It is helpful to know what folks on the other side of "right" are thinking.
Maybe, just maybe, we don't don't have "a problem with women in power". Maybe we just have a problem with the UNELECTED position of first lady when it drifts into policy making (ala hillary).
Everything they think about the President, his wife and what 'we' think of her is precisely the opposite of the truth.........and it's good to know that.
If you're for the right policies, I don't care what sex you are or what you look like.

That last name should be spelled crumb.
Her Heinous was villified because her health care proposal stunk so bad that even the Dems wouldn't vote for it, but she paraded around acting like she was the Grand Prize winner in the sweepstakes of life. I don't admire someone just for having an opinion; it frankly depends on what it is. Conversely, I don't dislike a First Lady who keeps her opinions to herself. Laura Bush knows that we didn't elect HER, unlike her predecessor in that position who thought that we did!
She is terrific! Very intelligent, capable personality,beautiful person to know and a dedicated conservative.
