Laura Bush warns Dems away from anti-Palin sexism
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080901/pl_politico/20378

“The other side will have to be particularly careful," Bush said in an interview on Fox News from St. Paul, "because that’s something we all looked at."

Questioned about whether Palin may face sexism from the media in the way Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters claim she did, Bush said: "I think that's a possibility."

The first lady, who had been planning to speak to the GOP convention tonight before Gustav scrambled the schedule, expressed pride in Palin.

"I’m going to get what I wanted, which is to be able to vote for a Republican woman," Bush said. "People, as they get to know her, are going to be so impressed with her grit and her sensible judgment.”
"She has shown how terrific women can be, and how strong women can be, in office.”

4. So we'll hear about "the sexism card" every bit as much as we heard about "the race card" right?
Oh - that's right - I forgot.

LOSE!
Let's face it, at this point there is no way any Bush can create a reputation of someone anyone would ever want to listen to on any subject.

edit: and that goes for McCain and Palin too.
