, the top Democrat proclaimed, "I liked the traditional duties of keeping a house. ..." "I'm not the greatest at it in the world," Mrs. Clinton told the BBC. "But I loved doing it. I mean, it was inviting people to come to your home and therefore it mattered to me what china we used, what the flowers looked like, what the menu was."

Spoken like a woman who's never actually kept house a day in her life. China and flowers.....puhleeze......in this house it's more like paper plates and my kids latest play doh creation as a centerpiece.

That's the truth with the bark on it. Throwing dinner parties (with a catered meal, ordered floral arrangements, and probably rented china - how many people have more than one set of good china to CHOOSE from?) is NOT keeping house. This is what a First Lady does in the White House, with a staff of hundreds to do all the work.

When I invite friends over to dinner, it's grandmother's china (the only set I have - our everyday dishes are the $3 kind from the discount store), whatever I can cook and still have time to visit with our guests, and whatever flowers Publix has on the aisle that day!
