You must really be the life of the party. I am hardly known as a giddy type but damn, did you have to write so many words and want to stand out from the crowd? Laura Bush did a fantastic job and your carping about various silly things is perhaps the most inane batch of babbling that I have read for quite some time. Maureen Dowd indeed. Your analysis is right in there with Maureen Dowd and worthy of the same respect as that airhead’s ludicrous attempt to appear with it. Seeing your name on anything in the future will save me some reading time. br> — Donald Melquist br> Green Valley, Arizona /p>

Wlady Pleszczynski’s editorial about the Laura Bush stand-up routine was excellent.

The complaint about the Clinton years was that the same type of humor leaked out at private White House functions, such the infamous x-rated Christmas tree ornaments. The Clintons actually seemed embarrassed when caught.

W. was elected because we were tired of children inhabiting the White House. However, Laura Bush’s sophomoric routine is a return to the Clinton standards and a lowering of all standards for the president and his wife. I imagine it says a lot about what they really think of the voters, pro-life issues, and conservatism.
