you'd have a point. But Babs has long been part of Team Bush. She was a mighty boon to Poppy's candidacy, he used to jokingly lament that she was more popular than he was. She garnered a ton of goodwill for Bush, especially when contrasted with the shy, nervous, somewhat brittle Kitty Dukakis. During his term, she was regularly trotted out when he needed a PR boost. Americans loved her, many still do. There's nothing low about exposing her as the iron fist in the velvet glove. She's a player, not a bystander, and if more people are apprised of this, all the better.
