kidding!
The FDR and Eleanor thing won't sit too well, though.
In 2005 they're now saying it in front of your back.
She sounds like a lovely person.
They should have asked her what kind of a tree she would be.
Favorite city outside Dallas: Aspen or San Francisco
I'm happiest when: I'm around people I like and admire
Apparently then, she likes the people of Aspen and SF.
I Thought that was kind of telling!
>>Behind my back, people say: They can't figure me out.
Hence, Bush's choice!
>>Guests at my fantasy dinner party: the Apostle Paul, >>Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, >>Margaret Thatcher
Now there's a conversation to evesdrop on!
Given that, it's a wonder she could've risen to the head of a legal firm...
Yeah. Reall sounds like David Souter, doesn't it?
LOL.
You probably should've copied the entire guest list - sounds like some interesting contradictions. I'd be wearing a raincoat to that dinner party...
Sounds like good answers for their purpose: Something for everyone. Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Thatcher? Only a politician would include those two together.
"She sounds like a lovely person."
I'm sure she is, and I'd love to sit and sing "Adel Weiss" with her, but is she a brilliant, heavyweight, Constitutional Jurist?
Absolutely not...

I agree.
No, I did see the entire list.
Most people for a list like that may put down Jesus. But lots fewer would put down the Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the new testament.
To me it confirms some of the reports we have been hearing about her devout Christian faith.
I'm surprised the boxers or briefs question was not included.
