Why should this be infuriating?
Many Bush critics do work in the public sector and Bush is doing what he 
can to undermine the public sector.
The fact that his wife was once a school teacher is totally irrelevant 
to his asshole choices and appointments made while in office.
Is one somehow a less effective critic of Bush and his policies if you 
don't work in the public sector?
I don't get what is infuriating about his wifes past career choices or 
why anyone should even care about his wifes past career.
