Also, why can't The Washington Post say: FIRST LADY Laura Bush? Is it that painful for them?

Besides, "Mrs. Laura Bush" is not a correct form for her name, anyway. (I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but Judith Martin wouldn't.) If she weren't First Lady, it would be "Mrs. George Bush."

You are correct, Master Silly. (Or, Mr. Silly, if you are older than your screen name implies.) :)

Of course you are correct ----- as a married woman you are either "Silly Freeper" or "Mrs. George Freeper"....if you were to become widowed you would then be "Mrs. Silly Freeper".....At least this was the tradition in the South..... does it sound right to you?
