Good for her. Better that than the Stepford Wife we've got.

it's his job. His wife should be free to choose who she breaks bread with and evidently it's not Chimpy McPretzeldent. Good for her.

Not turning up for lunch with the Bushies may not have been in line with accepted practice, but it's not a crime, and people should leave her be.
