I love Laura Bush and I am thrilled to have some of her accomplishments finally highlighted, especially all the work she has done for women. However, I don’t think she would condone trash talking other First Ladies in comparison to her. I think she would find that tacky and not at all in keeping with the tone she has tried to set as First Lady. All of our First Ladies have taken a different approach to that role. Why not try to find the good in all of them? I’m sick of the partisan attitude of the last eight years and all of the knee jerk bashing. And now that the shoe is on the other foot, I pray that we won’t continue the personal attacks and pettiness that we have found so disgusting and unfair in others.
