Margaret Spellings, Bush's Sec. of Education, Is Unstable:
July 21, 2007, 8:41PM
Margaret Spellings, Bush confidante and heartbreaker
Washington Post


The secretary of education was ready to talk student loans and No Child Left Behind when interviewed by Washington Post editors and reporters last week. So maybe she was taken aback when asked why she turned down Karl Rove when he asked her out in the early '80s.
...
Spellings paused, then said: "Have you met Karl Rove?

"He was so inept and so inartful," she added. "I mean, I couldn't even understand."

A reporter brought up Rove to change the subject after a journalist inadvertently made Spellings cry. When asked to describe a side of President Bush the public doesn't know, the secretary started telling an old story about how then-Gov. Bush consoled a Texas official who had broken down while eulogizing a colleague. "Oh, I'm going to cry just telling you the story," she said, removing her glasses and dabbing her eyes with a napkin. "Y'all, I can't believe you did this to me!"

1. Watch the Barney Bush Christmas Extravaganza some time...
...and you will see her. She is a wooden caricature of a person and my dog is more articulate and shows a ton more human emotion.

BTW: The ONLY reason that vid is played at my house is because my Scottie dog adores Barney. Please note: She tells me Barney thinks Bush is an asshole, so I am not that upset about her crush. Besides, from watching Barney, as a long time Scottie owner (from childhood and I am now a Senior), there is NO doubt that Scottie dog Barney cannot stand *. Scotties have certain in-bred traits and watching Barney with *, I know how that dog feels about him. "Evil" would be a good one-word description.

2. The only
redeeming quality about the man is that he owns a Scottie. I love Scotties!
