That sentence doesn't sound good on its own -- which is why you should all send me money for wine -- but if you read just a little more it's abudantly clear that she wasn't dissing Laura Bush.

I don't see the problem being THK dissing Laura Bush. The true problem is her stream-of-consciousness, non-responsive answers which she throws out in grandiose fashion, disenfranchising the majority of Americans (ie., anyone except the Woody Allen-like psychoanalyism addicts, that is). Like what the hell is she talking about "validation" and where that comes from and whose validation is what....blah blah. The fucking question was how her role as First Lady would differ from Laura Bush's. How about a simple answer? Instead we get:

A: 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. 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. And I'm older, and my validation of what I do and what I believe and my experience is a little bit bigger — because I'm older, and I've had different experiences. And it's not a criticism of her. It's just, you know, what life is about.

As IF that psychobabble is going to endear her to busy Moms in the Patch or in the Urban Ghetto for that matter who don't have the fucking time or luxury to speculate on where their "validation" comes from (or care where anyone else's "validation" comes from). The only people with that luxury are rich white women like her who live outside the hussle and bussle of real life (NTTAWWT, of course).
