Laura Bush warns Dems away from anti-Palin sexism
First lady Laura Bush said today that sexism aimed at Sarah Palin was a very real prospect and suggested Democrats watch what they say about the Alaska governor and John McCain’s ticketmate.
“The other side will have to be particularly careful,” Bush said in an interview on Fox News from St. Paul, “because that’s something we all looked at.”
Questioned about whether Palin may face sexism from the media in the way Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters claim she did, Bush said: “I think that’s a possibility.”
The first lady, who had been planning to speak to the GOP convention tonight before Gustav scrambled the schedule, expressed pride in Palin.
“I’m going to get what I wanted, which is to be able to vote for a Republican woman,” Bush said. “People, as they get to know her, are going to be so impressed with her grit and her sensible judgment.”
“She has shown how terrific women can be, and how strong women can be, in office.”
Bush and Cindy McCain were to visit a convention breakfast sponsored by the Louisiana delegation this morning.

YAY! I bet she’ll be getting more outspoken in the coming days, as their time in public office winds down.
According to one article, Palin’s approval as AK governor is 80%.
A while ago FOX News said she is the most popular governor in the Nation.
She’s going to kick ass.
Laura Bush is THE best first lady ever! If she ever ran for
president, I would vote for her in a heartbeat!
And she is right about the sexism thing...wasn’t that the
first thing that Obama’s nutty campaign said when they found
out it was her...”how is she going to raise 5 kids in the
White House” or something to that effect.
How inclusive they are! /sarc.
Thanks for the ping to this!
