She is such a class act. That reporter is a sleaze.

[Texas Eagle]

Sounds to me like she handled it quite well.

Bravo, Mrs. Bush.

[txhurl]

That reporter.. I can't say.

[roses of sharon]

That's no reporter. That's a political hack.

[Howlin]

I'd have been arrested.

[Republican Wildcat]

Ridiculous and irrelevant question for the event. This report is a nutcase.

[chae]

I just hope Mrs. Bush makes sure that Good Morning America is snubbed when it comes to important offical events.

[NormsRevenge]

A Katie Hi-Colonic wannabe?

Jessica Yellin - ABC News

[buckeyesrule]

Laura Bush should asked the reporter, "excuse me, are you a reporter or are you Howard Dean's mistress?"

[rlmorel]

Yellin? Perhaps she should stick a sock in it...

[Political Junkie Too]

This is almost like how the perky Katie Couric made her career. She was interviewing Barbara Bush in a White House tour as a correspondent for the Today Show. George Bush came into the room and Couric immediately started interviewing him. He stayed for about 10 minutes before Barbara pushed him out of the room. NBC repackaged the Bush interview as a prime-time NBC exclusive, and Couric was added to the Today Show team within the year.

Nah.

Mrs. Bush has too much class to hold grudges.

[ExcursionGuy84]

For the Love of--They can't even give Laura Bush a break here!!!

I mean, She's Not a Legislator, a General, a Judge or a analyst...so why, WHY do Reporters "have to" press her with questions that they ALREADY NOW the Answer to?!?!?!?!

[ExcursionGuy84]

I'm sorry:

NOW = KNOW, as in "I Know..."

[A Citizen Reporter]

LOL, me too. Don't you just marvel at these two?

[chae]

I know, but I do hold grudges:)

[Texas Eagle]

Roger that.

[writer33]

These people have lost all sense of reality.

[Judith Anne]

That's no reporter. That's a political hack

I'm going to write ABC tonight, and tell them that Yellin's disgraceful conduct is just another reason why I haven't watched them in years and never will again.

Mrs. Bush has incredible grace...she skillfully used a political attack to praise our troops, the Iraqi people's determination, and American conduct of the war; she displayed the loving compassion of a wife and mother for those suffering a wartime loss...
