As a person who doesn't fit either extreme stereotypically (Leftists or Right Wingers) I explain.

My view and most objective "others" consider Laura a cookie-cutter politician's wife, i.e., attractive but not drop dead gorgeous, subdued to ensure hubby gleans the lion share of the attention, and almost non-political so she, in essence is a complementing ornament for the real deal - Hubby!

Therefore, no IMHO, no one has any true valid rationale for critism of her. Why, because she stands for nothing but an extension of her husband.

Contrast this with Teresa Heinz Kerry, a highly intelligent woman with a point of view. Again, because she is NOT the politician herself, no one IMO of true objectivism and class has grounds to degrad here. Now - here's the difference - the right wing have been, and will continue ad nausea to spew invectives and forever LABEL Teresa Heins Kerry "a royal bitch" just like they constantly (and continue to this day) their seemingly endless character assassinations of Senator Hillery Clinton.

Sorry my Brit Cousin (I do have real cousins in London <g>) but *the gloves are off.* Albeit "unseamly" on both sides, I fully understand that in order to win this election many in our ranks must get in the mud with the freepers. Negative campaigning works. Yes, it's tragic but we're in the real world of politics.

I'd even further suggest that "the left" campaign to pressure GWB to force his precious daughters into enlisting in the US Army MP Corps. How long do you think we'd keep up this illegal occupation, if Jenna and Barbara were manning a machine gun mount? Oh gee, never mind, when Jenna had emergency surgery the summer of 2001, GWB didn't even show up at the hospital. Further, neither of them attended their daughter's college graduation. They're (The Bush Dynasty) the perfect political family, but dysfunctional as hell by most thoughtful American moral standards.

Yeah, it's hard to find fault with a woman who killed her ex-boyfriend with her car. Stop picking on Mrs. Stepford dammit! Oops, make that "our Laura" a.k.a. Mrs. George W. Bush.
