Laura Bush is a class act unlike the opposing candidates wife.
Laura Bush is a LADY...our First Lady!
She does have a sparkle in her eye. You can't fake that sort of thing.
Infinitely classier. Laura Bush handled it so well, I almost feel sorry for Teresa...almost.
The difference between the two is clear:
Class vs. Crass
I am proud of our First Lady.
Nicely done Mrs Bush.
In the future, references about Heinze Kerry should be posted as Heinze Ketchup.
Her comments also have an added benefit of showing the contrast between her and Te-ray-zuh. Could you imagine the Heinz heiress saying something like what our First Lady did?
THE CURSE OF THE A-ROD
Mrs. Bush should have her middle name changed to "Grace," because that is what she exhibits.
"First Lady ignores babbling pyscho idiot."
Does everybody get the Karen Hughes comments .. THEY CAME DIRECTLY FROM LAURA's HUSBAND - GW.
And .. I think that since the dems had now ridiculed 3 female members of the campaign - GW decided he needed to put a stop to it. Hopefully, the dems got the message.
Actually .. from the beginning - Laura said, "no apology is necessary" .. BEFORE THK MADE HER APOLOGY PUBLIC.
Laura is always a lady. Her reply regarding Heinz-Kerry's remarks was perfect.
Frau Heinz is a Mozambiquean doctor's daughter, not a real aristocrat or even a member of one America's founding families. She married her money and influence. Absent Sen. Heinz's upper class standing, there's no way Theresa would be listed in the Social Register or be able to afford her gigolo Gianni Kerry the lifestyle to which he has become so easily accustomed.
Frau Heinz and Mrs. Bush are of solidly upper-middle class origins.
This makes all the talk about Frau Heinz the billionairess so risible: she's a nouveaux riche behaving with as little class as the stereotype of the parvenu would lead one to expect. This behavior did not begin until after her original mealticket died and left her the keys to the kingdom.
Mrs. Bush married into an equally upper class family, but one not nearly as locally prominent when she married in. She has always comported herself with grace and humility and does not appear to be status driven in the way Frau Heinz is.
“Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids,"
Unfortunately, I believe some Dems view Lady Laura's grace as "plastic" and Hagetha Heinz's rudeness as "refreshing."
Laura is an incredible role model.
