On the contrary...there are no "split hairs" or other ambiguities.

The poster feels that Laura Bush should never speak out on public policy despite her years of hard work slogging away in the political trenches.

Seems pretty clear cut to me.

The underlying point is that she was not elected. I have nothing against her. I just think that she did not speak extemporaneously--she must have been vetted. That said, I would like to forgive the Bush team for their much timidity. JeffAtlanta is on OUR side. Haven't we had enough infighting? He, myself, and others less timid know that conservatism wins and compromise loses. Pop the cork because the GOP train is on the right, right track to victory.
