I never said she had lost touch with reality. That would imply
that she had at some time in the past been in touch with reality
and there is no evidence to merit that assumption. Here's a
direct quote from a popular magazine article about Laura and
George Bush:
"First Lady Laura Bush: Ladies and gentlemen, I've been attending
these dinners for years and just quietly sitting there. Well,
I've got a few things I want to say for a change.
This is going to be fun because he really doesn't have a clue
about what I'm gonna' to say next.
George always says he's delighted to come to these press dinners.
Baloney. He's usually in bed by now.
I'm not kidding.
I said to him the other day, "George, if you really want to end
tyranny in the world, you're going to have to stay up later."
I am married to the president of the United States, and here's
our typical evening: Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound
asleep, and I'm watching Desperate Housewives? with Lynne Cheney.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife. I mean, if
those women on that show think they're desperate, they oughta be
with George.
One night, after George went to bed, Lynne Cheney, Condi Rice,
Karen Hughes and I went to Chippendale's. I wouldn't even mention
it except Ruth Ginsberg and Sandra Day O'Connor saw us there. I
won't tell you what happened, but Lynne's Secret Service codename
is now "Dollar Bill."
But George and I are complete opposites ? I'm quiet, he's
talkative, I'm introverted, he's extroverted, I can pronounce
nuclear ?
The amazing thing, however, is that George and I were just meant
to be. I was the librarian who speant 12 hours a day in the
library, yet somehow I met George.
We met, and married, and I became one of the regulars up at
Kennebunkport. All the Bushes love Kennebunkport, which is like
Crawford, but without the nightlife. People ask me what it's like
to be up there with the whole Bush clan. Lemme put it this way:
First prize ? three-day vacation with the Bush family. Second
prize ? 10 days.
Speaking of prizes brings me to my mother-in-law. So many mothers
today are just not involved in their children's lives ? Not a
problem with Barbara Bush. People often wonder what my
mother-in-law's really like. People think she's a sweet,
grandmotherly, Aunt Bea type. She's actually more like, mmm, Don
Corleone.
Cedric, am I doing all right?
I saw my in-laws down at the ranch over Easter. We like it down
there. George didn't know much about ranches when we bought the
place. Andover and Yale don't have a real strong ranching
program. But I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about
ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse.
What's worse, it was a male horse.
Now, of course, he spends his days clearing brush, cutting
trails, taking down trees, or, as the girls call it, The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre. George's answer to any problem at the ranch is
to cut it down with a chainsaw ? which I think is why he and
Cheney and Rumsfeld get along so well.
It's always very interesting to see how the ranch air invigorates
people when they come down from Washington. Recently, when Vice
President Cheney was down, he got up early one morning, he put on
his hiking boots, and he went on a brisk, 20- to 30-foot walk."
