I bring it over only as a curiosity.

In any other thread all they have to say about us is how easily led/controlled/brainwashed we are* but now they are upset we are not so easily led/controlled/brainwashed by the lovely and gracious Ms. Bush and her kin.

* Of course if we are so easily led it begs us to ask: why are they so frustrated in their efforts to lead us?

I suppose the issue could be examined except their uncritical dismissal of us would evaporate after 5 seconds of inspection.

Ironically, the "easily led" canard is mere parroting of what they hear their own leaders say to explain away why everyone refuses to fall in line with their obvious and brilliant greatness.

The former first lady said she believed criticism of the speech had arisen because of the accompanying lesson plans. If parents are opposed to the address, said Bush, "That's their right. You know that certainly is the right of parents to choose what they want their children to hear in school… (But) I think it's also really important for everyone to respect the President of the United States."

Does she think it's fair to criticize Obama, as some have, by labeling him a socialist? "I'd have no idea whether it's fair, do you think I thought it was fair when President Bush was criticized — not really. So, I guess not," she responded.

But she also said former Vice President Cheney, who has been an outspoken critic of the Obama administration's security policy, "has every right to speak out, and I appreciate that he is defending the Bush administration and his administration."

"But George as a former president chose not to speak out," she added. "He thinks the president deserves the respect and the no second-guessing on the part of the former president… he didn't like it when he was criticized by former presidents and that's what he has chosen to do."

There was much about Bush that made me mad 1/2 the time vis-a-vis his domestic policy but if nothing else the man has class.
