Yet another reason I like the first lady:
First Lady Laura Bush coolly brushed past the face of evil yesterday, giving Iran’s notoriously chauvinistic president the silent treatment en route to her husband’s speech at the United Nations.
Bespectacled blowhard Mahmoud Ahmadinejad glanced up at the first lady – apparently hoping to make eye contact with the wife of his No. 1 enemy – as she climbed past his aisle seat 14 rows back from the podium at the General Assembly session.
But Mrs. Bush merely placed her right hand on the edge of his desk to steady herself on the stairs without looking up, and continued to her seat. The despondent despot immediately lowered his head again.
Nicely done, madam.
