First Lady Dismisses Clinton's Criticism
(Bolds mine)
TURIN, Italy - Laura Bush said Saturday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's criticism of her husband's administration was "out of bounds," arguing that the former first lady should show some empathy for the current White House occupants.

Leading the U.S. delegation at the Winter Olympics in Turin, the first lady talked about a range of subjects, from the violent protests across the Muslim world over caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad to the quality of the U.S. Olympic team. She was interviewed by ABC and CBS.

Clinton, the New York senator and a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2008, has called the Bush administration "one of the worst" in history. In the interview with ABC News, Mrs. Bush was asked if Clinton's comments were "just politics, fair game or out of bounds."

"Of course I think it's out of bounds," the first lady said. "But I think it's politics, it's certainly politics."

And as we all know, the Bushes never, ever "play politics."
Mrs. Bush pointed out that former Presidents Bush and Clinton and her husband are part of a unique club that also includes the wives.

"We know what it's like to live in that house. We certainly know what it's like to have your husband criticized," Mrs. Bush said. "So I think there's a certain empathy that we might have for each other that we wouldn't have maybe for somebody else who said something like that."
Oh, please.

Of course. Hillary should stop saying nasty things about your husband, because she should know how that feels. So just forget all the vicious attacks against Bill and yourself, Hillary. You know, the ones that are still going on, and are still being used to excuse the colossal screwups that Bush makes on a daily basis.

Quit being so mean, Hillary! We'd never do that to you!

Excuse me while I pick up my eyeballs; rapid rolling pops them right out of the sockets. Suck it up, Laura. You're married to the Worst President in American History. Get used to hearing it.
