Regardless of their morals, beliefs, and even stature, I don't consider it appropriate for a news publication to insult the appearance of a visitor to the US.

So well said, Quilla. I guess the NY Post doesn't wish to be considered as such.

I agree. I find this sort of behaviour rude, tacky, and totally uncalled for. There are many people in this country and in other parts of the world who do not like Barbara Bush. I do not appreciate it when those people insult and/or critique her outfits or hairstyle either. Both women obviously try very hard to look their best, and if their "best" isn't good enough for some folks, then too bad.

Would those same people write up a nasty commentary in the family newsletter when a friend or relative showed up at some family function wearing an outfit that THEY wouldn't have chosen to wear? Wrong color, wrong style, made her look fat....blah blah FReepin' blah. That is rude. Period.
