A Senator Laura Bush?

I always imagined that Hillary would remain a political figure in some way or another after her First Lady days... but Laura Bush? I don't know what to make of that one. Which is probably why this makes sense:

STERLING, Va. - The Senate may be the place for some former first ladies, but President Bush on Thursday categorically ruled out a run for office by his wife, Laura Bush.

"She's not interested in running for office. She's interested in literacy," Bush said during an appearance at JK Moving & Storage.

The topic came up as the president took questions from his audience after a speech on the economy. A woman asked if Mrs. Bush would ever run for Senate from the first couple's home state of Texas, and Bush responded "never" — twice.

I'm sure she's a nice person and probably amazingly tolerant, if her two kids + the third child/husband are any indication of test of her patience.

Hm. I suppose she IS interested in literacy... especially that of her own husband.
