And she apologized for it.
I've seen and heard Laura Bush speak. Very nice lady, good head on her shoulders, probably a good mother and wife.
I've seen Teresa Kerry in informal interviews too. She struck me as a caring and involved mother, wife, and an intelligent woman. Now you can take a sentence she said and run to the endzone with it or we could all just try to see things through real world glasses instead of the ones the media provides.
She is 66 years old. She is used to speaking her mind. I wonder why no one picked out this part of the same paragraph to quote:
I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good.
or this part:
And I'm older, and my validation of what I do and what I believe and my experience is a little bit bigger — because I'm older, and I've had different experiences. And it's not a criticism of her. It's just, you know, what life is about.
Or has anyone even looked at this?
"I had forgotten that Mrs. Bush had worked as a school teacher and librarian, and there couldn't be a more important job than teaching our children. As someone who has been both a full-time mom and full-time in work force, I know we all have valuable experiences that shape who we are. I appreciate and honor Mrs. Bush's service to the country as first lady and am sincerely sorry I had not remembered her important work in the past."
Heck no... much easier to bag than to try and understand or even keep an open mind. Sad really.
