Now who's he hiding behind?
It really isn't fair of first lady Laura Bush to be commenting on how "political" it is that people are calling her husband's military service into question.
Because, of course, no one would dare say to the first lady, "Well, ok, so where was he all those months?" Can you imagine the outcry if someone did that?
How dare someone ask tough political questions of the first lady, they'd say. How ungallant, how rude. And of course, no one has.
But then, well, shouldn't she not be taking advantage of that? Shouldn't she not be commenting on it?
Jeez, if you had a suspicious mind, you'd think the Bush campaign people knew this, and maybe even were doing it on purpose. What with the timing of it and all.
Nah. That would be hiding behind...well, you know.
