2. I think it's residual worship for her husband...
A while back the "Presidential Prayer Team" Web Site ran a Flash greeting card with photos from various stages of Bush's life and soft New Age piano music in the background. It was chilling...the amount of reverence in that card was so over the top I can't describe it. I did some screen shots at the time:







...so her adoration is part of a larger myth that paints the Bush family, its husbands and wives and children, as God-fearing, hard-working, salt-of-the-earth saints that bless us with their leadership.

Scary stuff, isn't it?
