"Bush Rules Out Senate Run for First Lady"

[GreenPartyVoter]

STERLING, Va. (AP) - The Senate may be the place for some former first ladies, but President Bush on Thursday categorically ruled out a run for office by his wife, Laura Bush.

"She's not interested in running for office. She's interested in literacy," Bush said during an appearance at JK Moving & Storage.

The topic came up as the president took questions from his audience after a speech on the economy. A woman asked if Mrs. Bush would ever run for Senate from the first couple's home state of Texas, and Bush responded "never" - twice.

He also declined the woman's plea that he at least ask Mrs. Bush if she might be willing.

"She's not interested in running for office. She's interested in literacy"

Only Bush would think the two are mutually exclusive.

12. He couldn't even answer "Why don't you ask her?" It says sooo much...

So frickin' amazing... I have no idea how Republican women can stand this imperious twit.

How dare he answer the question for her. Can you think of any other world leader that would be so disrespectful of their partner that they wouldn't even say, "Gee, I have no idea. That's a question for my spouse."

HE answers the question for her. HE's made the decision for her. Do *'s 'handlers' in the GOP believe that this 50's "Father Knows Best" crap is what Republican women want? Insane...
