George Bush isn't doin' too famously in the opinion polls. It's perhaps not surprising for all the obvious reasons. So, what better way to try and restore some credibility than by "using" what the Americans call the First Lady to restore his stocks?
As this interesting piece [not only for the question it poses but also how the Americans look upon their President and his wife] on AlterNet opens:
"Fox News host Chris Wallace's third question to Laura Bush in his White House interview with her on his Sunday show This Week captured in a nutshell the reason we've been hearing more from her than her husband, whose public approval has dipped into the 20s. It's because Americans don't hate her as much -- yet. Said Wallace:
As someone whose … approval ratings are double your husband's, why do you think the American people are beginning to lose confidence in your husband?"
Needless to say the media in the US is questioning whether Laura B is fair game? I would say so! - especially given the influence it is said she has over George.
As the AlterNet article points out:
"Former first lady Hillary Clinton got pilloried for 'vast right-wing conspiracy.' So why doesn't first lady Laura Bush get the same treatment, especially when she veers into the unbelievable? Beware of modest little librarians who come out and tell us tales, choosing to leave reality back in the library rooms."
