Why Does Laura Bush Hate Democracy?

She kept telling a reporter today that the federal government must always intervene in cases like Schiavo's (way down in the article).

This is sadly funny considering Laura's off on a whole five-hour junket to Afghanistan to "promote women's education and independence" in a place where the Taliban and Morality police reign supreme again, where women are again customarily kept out of the public eye and school rooms, and where the Bushies failed to have any change in Afghan's government that allowed women rights as people equal to men.

Five whole hours? Guess she's got to get back to plan a 17-course dinner at the White House tonight.

Glad to see that polls universally say her trip means nothing or less than nothing.
