I'm finding it interesting that Mrs. Bush is being quoted on almost everything lately. Hardly a quote in the media in the first term, now she is far more public. Maybe a new job coming up? Secretary of Education?
I agree.
I think she is wants to run for office now. Has anyone notice that she is getting into Hillary territory lately? I am so disappointed in her lately especially he pro choice stance.
Yeah, this is typical distorted AP writing. Whenever GWB, Laura, or anyone in the Bush Administration says anything mildly critical, AP writers use terms like "attacks", "assails", "harshly criticzed", etc. to try to make Republicans look mean and nasty. I've noticed too that when a Bush Admin official sticks to his position on an issue and doesn't move in response to Dem attacks, the AP likes to use the work "insists", as though the official is stridently sticking to a weak position. The terms "insists" implies stridency and a harsh tone of voice, which is always the way the AP tries to portray Republicans. No question about it, the AP is consistently and strongly biased against the GOP in their choice of words and especially in their selection of facts to present in articles and in their headline writing.

No kidding. If that AP fool thinks that's "assailing" her ears would fall off is she heard what I have to say about Hildebeast!!
Sorry, I can't imagine Mrs. Bush assailing anyone.
Me neither but I sure would like to have seen it.
