First Lady in Seclusion After Election Disappointment
Hoping to avoid her husband's foul temper and her mother-in-law's blame following the mid-term elections, Laura Bush has retreated to an undisclosed location, according to White House sources.
Photographers glimpsed the First Lady as she slipped away from her husband's post-vote press conference yesterday.
"Laura's always been the scapegoat of the Bush clan when her husband's policies come up for criticism," remarked one observer. "Her mother-in-law has always felt that the President married beneath his prospects."
Random sightings of the First Lady, which were attributed to a blue haze in the countryside, were unconfirmed.
