I do not think Laura Bush has called me a sexist!

True, but to quote TommyDale, she said you could POSSIBLY be a sexist.

And now I am left to wonder, "Gee, is TommyDale a sexist or not? Does TommyDale have any legitimate reason for opposing Miers, or only TommyDale's brutish stupidity?"

Laura answered honestly. At least we can say that. If she had been smart, she would have taken the polite way out, "Why no, I would not say it is sexism. I would hope that people who supported my husband in the past have well-thought out reasons for disagreeing with him on this one - although I think they are wrong."

I am married to a West Texas lady - they are ALWAYS polite even when they are opposing you. Laura did not represent herself well with that stupid comment.

"And now I am left to wonder, "Gee, is TommyDale a sexist or not?"

Again, if someone wonders that about me then they don't know me and I don't care what they think anyway. I certainly don't feel threatened by the statement that "it is possible that he is sexist" because anyone who would think that about me is low on my list anyway.

Some civility in this debate would go a long ways. More than half of the Bush supporters are up in the air on this appointment. Insults are not persuasive.
