Laura Bush says Hillary “Out of bounds”
In an interview with ABC at the Winter Olympics, First Lady Laura Bush said that Hillary Clinton’s recent statements were out of bounds. Here’s what Drudge has from the interview:
Q Before I let you go, one political question, because I’ll get fired if I don’t ask at least one political question. The ceremony for Coretta Scott King was just so moving, all the speakers at that. Hillary Clinton has now taken a little bit of the forefront. And I know that you all travel together, and just a week before, she had some very harsh words about this administration, saying it could be one of the worst, go down in history as one of the worst ever. Is that just politics, is that fair game, or is that out of bounds, a statement like that?
MRS. BUSH: Well, of course I think it’s out of bounds. But I think it’s politics, it’s certainly politics. President Clinton and President Bush and President Bush number 41 who was with us, as well, are in a club together, and really, I think, wives of the Presidents are in a club, as well. We know what it’s like to live in that house. We certainly know what it’s like to have your husband criticized. So I think there’s a certain empathy that we might have for each other that we wouldn’t have maybe for somebody else who said something like that.
Q Well said, gracious as always. Mrs. Bush, thank you very much for your time.
MRS. BUSH: Thanks, Robin.
This is typical Laura Bush. She says what’s on her mind but she says what’s on her mind in a totally gracious way. If Hillary had the interpersonal skills that Laura has, she’d be a real threat in 2008.

This is a case of pure class, vs a bitter ole- ex 1st Lady who is coming to the conclusion that her designs on the White House and an ambitious desire for power are nearly over.
