As was pointed out, she has been called "some old maid from Texas". She has been called the equivilant to Bush's cleaning lady. She has been called a mere secretary who is good only to get the coffee for others. She was called a Lesbian for not having married, then called a low woman (s__t) when it came out that she and Judge Nathan Hecht of Texas had had "some (ill-defined) kind of longterm friendship that bordered at times on romantic" but they had not chosen to marry each other. She is now being called "the church lady".
All here on Free Republic.
So all Laura had to do was lurk here, then tell the truth when asked, that yes, it is possible there is some sexism involved in this.
Now Laura is being attacked. One poster even eagerly remarked that oh yes, blah blah blah, because of blah blah blah, why, Laura Bush has now made herself imminently "attackable". Then attacked her, with relish.
Utterly disgusting and despicable.
That's why I truly believe that this is all part of the spiritual war we are in for the soul of this country.
Hatred like this is NEVER of God. Never.
