Laura Bush warns Dems away from anti-Palin sexism

First lady Laura Bush said today that sexism aimed at Sarah Palin was a very real prospect and suggested Democrats watch what they say about the Alaska governor and John McCain's ticketmate.

“The other side will have to be particularly careful," Bush said in an interview on Fox News from St. Paul, "because that’s something we all looked at."

Questioned about whether Palin may face sexism from the media in the way Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters claim she did, Bush said: "I think that's a possibility."

The first lady, who had been planning to speak to the GOP convention tonight before Gustav scrambled the schedule, expressed pride in Palin.

"I’m going to get what I wanted, which is to be able to vote for a Republican woman," Bush said. "People, as they get to know her, are going to be so impressed with her grit and her sensible judgment.”
"She has shown how terrific women can be, and how strong women can be, in office.”

Bush and Cindy McCain were to visit a convention breakfast sponsored by the Louisiana delegation this morning.

Huh! I'm so scared.

:scared:

at any criticism, to get the PUMA/Hillary victim fetishers excited.

What's sexist about calling her out on all her bullshit? And since when did the GOP start giving a shit about women?

“is very, very experienced especially compared with the other side.” and has more experience because “When you’re mayor, your constituents live next door.”

She needs to shut up because she always sounds stupid.

and an 18yo son deploying to Iraq. Geez, I'd say she and her husband need to pay more attention to their own family right now.

But thanks for the advice, Laura 'Stepford'

Oh, those Republican wingnuts, they're soooo concerned about eradicating sexism and ensuring equal rights for all. :eyes:

Run us all over with your car?


Oh my. Did I say that?

:rofl:

...such a colossus of the women's movement as Laura Bush. I mean, just look at what she's accomplished in her life. No, really, look. Just over there. Left a bit. No, no, lower down. See? Well, put on your glasses then. See now? Here's an electron microscope. Now can you see it? Oh I give up!

"People, as they get to know her, are going to be so impressed with her grit and her sensible judgment.”
"She has shown how terrific women can be, and how strong women can be, in office.”


I got a C-Note that says Pickles didn't know squat about this woman before Friday morning.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Screw Laura. She wouldn't understand women's issues, feminism, and sexism if they crawled up her skirt.

Gov palin is a liar and hates Polar Bears. And, the toothless mccain didn't bother to vet her record so I'm sure you were sent out to distract but you're really nothing to listen to..ya married bush, didn't ya?

to be impressed with Sarah Palin's "grit and sensible judgment". Yet, how exactly did Laura learn about these qualities? What empty comments these are.

I'm a little confused here, Laura.

women look up to or even aspire to be like, in fact she is the type you try to be least like...If I had a son and he brought home a woman like her I'd be most disappointed. I guess your judgement in this is the same judgement you used when you decided to marry that bonehead you're married to.

Get out of my face !
