In 1999, Columba Bush, the famously private wife of then-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was detained and fined by federal customs officials for misrepresenting the amount of clothing and jewelry she had bought while on a solo five-day shopping spree in Paris.

The incident left the Florida first lady deeply mortified and her husband politically chagrined. Jeb Bush said the first lady had misled customs officials because she did not want him to know that she had spent about $19,000 on the trip.

“The embarrassment I felt made me ashamed to face my family and friends,” Columba Bush said in a July 1999 speech to the Central Florida Make-a-Wish Foundation, not long after the incident. “It was the worst feeling I’ve ever had in my life.”

I offered to `share the load’ with her by carrying the One Ring in Mordor.”

In that picture, Mrs. Bush reminds me of Shelley Morrison who played the role of Rosario, Karen Walker's housekeeper in the TV program Will & Grace......

Meanwhile Michelle Obama is Joan of Arc.
