If President Bush can chum around with the leftist likes of Teddy Kennedy, it shouldn't be too surprising that first lady Laura Bush is getting cozy with Sen. Hillary Clinton.
The odd couple joined forces today with Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, to plug a pet cause: recruiting teachers from other professions.
Keep an Eye on Your Jewelry, Mrs. Bush
"The event at a Washington elementary school was the first time the two women had promoted a favorite issue together. They greeted each other warmly, Clinton at one point admiring a ring Mrs. Bush was wearing," the Associated Press reported.
"I believe teaching is the greatest community service of all," Mrs. Bush said at the event.
Hillary said the program could take a cue from the U.S. Army and adopt the slogan "Uncle Sam Wants You to Teach."
"I have no doubt there is a tremendous untapped pool of potential teachers," she told an audience of "teachers and fidgety third- and fourth-grade students."
Yep! And on the silverware, too!
