From a thread that has been locked,

Here is what she said- Just what is so bad about it?


"Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good," Heinz Kerry said. "But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things."

To which I replied,

"I don't know that she's ever had a real job."

Without being familiar with the details, I am pretty sure she is a librarian. There are undoubtedly many educators out there that would take offense at such a remark, which either shows ignorance regarding Laura's career or implies that being a librarian (and by extension, educator) is not a "real" job.

I wonder what Mrs. Kerry's "job" is (I mean, besides marrying into money). Seriously, I don't know. What does she do with her time; what did she do before she was rich?

Whether or not she is a nice lady, I don't know, but saying what she did about Laura won't make others think she's very nice.
