Laura Bush: You Are No Abigail Adams

Protest is an American tradition. Here is a moment in history:

The first American revolutionaries were "rude and insolent rabble" to John Adams, who nevertheless became president in their wake. Abigail Adams warned her husband in 1776 to remember that "if particular care and attention are not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion."

Gee, wouldn't it be great if Laura Bush would sock it to George like that? Too bad she has adopted the Stepford First Lady role. She could have done much better.

Okay. They'd make a nice couple if they would just stay on the "ranchette" in Crawford and mind their own business. I might even be able to like them.
