Talk:Margaret Spellings

message: "Since her appointment, Spellings has worked diligently to advance the cause of public school reform through her promotion of Christian values and public funding of religious schools." This is hardly an npov. Promotion of Christian values in government and public funding of religious schools, are hot button issues of both sides of those arguments. Removing the sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyldraven (talk • contribs) 18:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the section about the Vince Young situation really relevant to this article? Is there anything that elevates that comment from the countless others she has made on probably thousands of topics? 134.68.143.167 00:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Young 

message: On November 21, 2006, she appeared on a Celebrity Jeopardy! episode of Jeopardy!. She is the first member of a president's cabinet to be on the show. Is that worthy of inclusion on her page? Jwolfe 10:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jeopardy! 

message: Is there a verifyable source for this edit? It seems that this page gets a lot of Linda Christas related spam, odd that Spellings would explicitly mention an Christas organization otherwise unknown to google... Pete.Hurd 06:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's the transcript of her appearance on Lehrer: . The first section appears, the last paragraph (that mentions Christas) does not. What a surprise. I'm pulling that paragraph. - Richfife 03:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

text: You guys can pull whatever you want in terms of Linda Christas, but the Post mentioned Waldorf and that's why I put the thing there. I've seen a lot of goofball stuff said about Linda Christas on this site. You fellows seem to make a lot of assumptions. For example, you people seem to think you are smart by monitoring IP addresses for what you call sock puppies, wnen in fact many schools pool servers and therefore would be within the same IP block of addresses. Let's put the Post quote back. Looks like we have a bunch of amateurs who get their kicks by removing whatever is not politically acceptable to them. FredLevine 20:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I did an archive search of all Connecticut Post articles from 2001 to present on the keyword "waldorf". No relevant matches whatsoever. Here's the link if you want to do your own search: . It's not politics, it's WP:VERIFIABILITY. - Richfife 20:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Do you know the issue date, section and page # of the article you are referencing then? If you are going to cite the article, then you need to include that. Otherwise it's not a cite. Thank you. - Richfife 15:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, many news sources are not available online like you said, however, the Connecticut Post is not one of them. Their entire article history going back to the Clinton administration is available online. And there's no mention of Waldorf or Linda Christas. The paper has not mentioned either organization since at least 1999. You cited them by name, not me. Linda Christas has a long history of posting inaccurate information on Wikipedia. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but in this case there's very little doubt in my mind to work with. - Richfife 19:21, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I am thrilled to hear that a violent ex-con is editing. Which editor is this? Which part of the world is he in? How is he relevant to this article? Also, I'm sure that all of us ladies and female impersonators would like to thank FredLevine for the gentlemanly way in which he refers to his fellow-editors as "ladies": such politeness is all too rare in the talk pages of Wikipedia. And now, back to the subject of editing this article. -- Hoary 15:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: I've restored the paragraph. Please leave Waldorf alone

message: From the article: "She has been the only active member of the Bush Administration to appear on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, as of her appearance on May 22, 2007."
I'm pretty sure there have been other active members of the Dubya Administration to appear on Jon Stewart's show at least since then. Press Secretary Dana Perino was on the show last week. Perhaps that should be clarified to read "… members of the Bush Cabinet"? MicahBrwn (talk) 07:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Margaret, you sent me mail and the answer to your mail is that I have already informed Pres. George and Laura Bush that my husband passed away and that I am living on social security  Please do not send me any more mail asking me to donate for I have to pay my own bills and take care of myself.
