Lady Bush needs to shut up on these issues.

Oh, you get to speak but she has to shut up?

Nice.

The first lady has no business commenting on public policy. It was inappropriate when Hillary did it and it is when Laura does it to. Would shareholders really think that the CEO's wife should be setting policy?

The first lady is in a unique situation where her words have political consequences to her husband's base. If she wants to be act like a private citizen and act like an activist then she can give up her perks and really be just like everyone else.

That's absolutely correct.

For I am speaking in defense of appointing people qualified based upon experience and track record, not on their sex.

So let me get this straight, you support affirmative action? Because that's what she's supporting by saying that there should be a quota of women on the SC.
