Isabel Jacobson's favorite word of Kakistocracy? When I heard that I immediately thought of the Bush Admin.

1. Smart kid. She slid that one right in there, didn't she?

I caught another part of the show when some of the kids got to tour the White House and meet Laura.

She was unbearable. Really talking down to them in an uptight way. I caught one spelling word she gave. SUFFRAGIST. Are you F-ing kidding me. Maybe for an average 4th grader and your dim husband that would be a stumper...but these are some of the most accomplished spellers n the country and you insult them with a word like that?

2. My favorite word

is stick-to-itiveness. :hi:

3. Me too!

Although in George's case, the preferred spelling would be "caca-stocracy."
