First lady Laura Bush joined her husband in defending his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday and said it was possible some critics were being sexist in their opposition to Harriet Miers. "That's possible, I think that's possible," Mrs. Bush said

What Laura Bush said: "It's POSSIBLE that SOME critics were being sexist."

What the moonbats heard: "All critics are definitely sexist."

The FACT is that there have been posts in the last eight days right here on Free Republic deriding Miers's experience in blatantly sexist terms.

I agree with posters who say that, for MOST people, the sexism charge is bogus; the nomination of Janice Rogers Brown would have been celebrated here (and viciously attacked by the Black Establishment, BTW). It's also true that some of the comments deriding her as a "secretary" would never have been made if she was a man.

Laura 1, Moonbats 0.
