My inclination is to like Laura, but sadly she has lost her Conservative footing. Of course that somewhat ignores the 600 pound gorilla in the room, that she probably didn’t have Conservative footing to begin with.
Unfortunate indeed...
When you let me know what "conservative footing" Nancy Reagan had, get back to me.....
As I recall Bush used her as a selling point in the 2004 re-election. She was America's first Lady sweetheart being compared with Kerry's entertaining (as in joke) rich elitist wife. I was taken in by her LB myself, but then again I was a huge Bush fan too.
This admission is clearly something she wanted to keep out of the press until husband Bush was out of office. Her views most likely reflect their daughter's liberal opinions that sound much like Megan McCains. This makes me think of Cheney's recent admission of his views on Open Homosexuality in the military(which would be a disaster) , I always figured those were his real views... but had to wait....
